use parenthesies in build process

[nedngo]

same issue

[JSTks24]

@TeamPSS @nedngo I ran into the same issue you're facing, but managed to resolve it by installing the beta version of node-pty. You can find the beta releases on the npm registry, simply install using the specific version command. For my case, I personally used

npm i [email protected]

which did the trick.

[Ziv-Barber]

"node-pty": "1.1.0-beta33" + installing spectre-mitigrated in VS fixed it for me.
