I'm trying again after npm i gulp-sass

[alextrastero]

nope, still nothing, something to do with node-sass

[mrmrs]

@alextrastero - this ticket is a good motivator for me to deprecate sass and just jump over to a proper postcss build.

[alextrastero]

@mrmrs and webpack? :trollface:

[mrmrs]

I am very bad at webpack but if you want to make a PR I would gladly accept.

@alextrastero try editing your package file to use the latest browser-sync, gulp, and gulp-sass.

npm update --save-dev

Seemed to have fixed that :)

Now npm start throws

[chriswhawkins]

I left gulp-watch versioning in place and don't get any errors, but live reload is not working at all.

[vladmocanu]

It seems the browser-sync doesn't work. I have the same issues as you @chriswhawkins
