Do you have the latest NodeJS Version?

[kharbanda14]

as per the minimum requirements, for v4.14.1 you need node js v14, you can refer the following link https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-sass/v/4.14.1

Hey @crydotsnake & @kharbanda14

I am a web dev and my setups are very often updated, Its 16.4.2 on my machine currently, and latest lts version of Node is 16.6.0

So It's more than enough I think?

[crydotsnake]

Or you can use nvm (node version manager) to switch between nodejs versions.

@crydotsnake, Hi, I already havenvm, which npm version will do the task smoothly?

Any help?

[crydotsnake]

Try it with version: v11.15.0

nvm install 11 && nvm use 11

It will be a great help!

Send the full error log. You can try this:

npm rebuild node-sass

Below is a quick guide for minimum and maximum support supported version of node-sass:

try to use nodejs 14, too (i using 15.9.0)

Try uninstalling gulp from you global packages and then run npm install on this project's root directory. Global installs cause problems sometimes.

You can reference this article.

I think I am done here. Tried every latest node and npm, tried older ones as well. Uninstalled global instance of gulp, nothing worked here.

We could have gone simpler with the setup.

I am doing this on Linux here, LInux Mint to be specific.

Please, post the full log of this command on pastebin:

node -v && npm install

You only need gulp if you want to work on the theme by the way... i.e. if you want to modify the SCSS and regenerate the assets. For anything else, a text editor, a terminal and a browser is enough.

Regarding gulp, I'm using the repository one personally.

[thevipinmishra]

@clefebvre Ofcourse I want to customize the theme itself and not the compiled src so that everything can stay synced with source.

Will do this log thing tomorrow.

To make sass work with node 16.2, I updated the dependencies in package.json:

"gulp": "^4.0.2",
"gulp-sass": "^5.0.0",
"node-sass": "^6.0.1"

Also the sass import had to change in gulpfile.js line 4: var sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('node-sass'));

@whelmich, You are a lifesaver!!

Thanks a lot. It works perfectly now, without any warnings or errors.

I made the changes as you suggested and it runs perfectly.

Thanks a lot again!
