GLOBAL_AGENT.HTTP_PROXY not letting me build Electron Pacakge-CodePudding

the problem

npm init -y
npm i path electron request http
npx electron-packager . --arch=ia32 --platform=win32 --out=release --electron-version=13.1.9

to build an electron project found in the current directory. Previous to reformatting my OS, I never had issues with this. However, now every time I execute these commands, after the last one electron-packager.

the error

In the console, I see Unsupported GLOBAL_AGENT.HTTP_PROXY configuration value: URL protocol must be "http:"

I cannot find any help on Google, or Stackoverflow about why this is occurring.

what i tried

I tried commenting out all parts of code in my relatively small project, to try to figure out what is giving me this issue.

I also tried repackaging the same project on my MacOS & Windows 10/11 machines, nothing works.

I am really frustrated/confused as to why this is happening, especially since I was able to use electron-packager a while back on the exact same project with no issues.
