Newly generated app is not functional

[cachafla]

I was under impression that all of the initial choices for configuring my project were optional, however I am unable to get a running project out of the box.

My environment is:

$ node -v
v0.12.3

$ npm -v
2.9.1

I followed the instructions to install the generator and proceeded to configure a new project like this:

? What more would you like? Sass with Compass, Bootstrap, Modernizr, Jest for unit tests

After it finishes I try to get it running with gulp watch but this is what I get:

$ gulp watch
[12:17:45] Using gulpfile ~/Code/Vink/vink-admin/gulpfile.js
[12:17:45] Starting 'html'...
[12:17:45] Starting 'fonts'...

[12:17:46] Starting 'scripts'...
[12:17:46] Starting 'bower'...
[12:17:46] Finished 'bower' after 842 μs

events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
Error: spawn sass ENOENT
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:746:11)

    at child_process.js:1144:20
    at process._tickCallback (node.js:355:11)

Seems like the sass integration is broken? I'm not sure what to do next as I'm just learning about gulp.

I get the same error.

$ npm -v 2.10.0 $ node -v v0.12.2

Thanks for your report. Let me check.

Having this issue as well. Anyone have any idea of a temporary workaround?

[randylien]

Hi all, may I have more information about your environments like the version of ruby, sass, node, npm and OS? Thanks.

[stuartmemo]

OSX 10.10.2 Ruby 2.1.3 Sass 3.4.14 Node 0.12.0 npm 2.5.1

I've tried to switching to libsass, but same issue.

[randylien]

@stuartmemo please try to run this command npm install gulp-ruby-sass@1.0.5 to install gulp-ruby-sass in your project folder and try again.

[stuartmemo]

@randylien No difference sorry.

[stuartmemo]

Ok, think I figured it out. I believe that this error happens if you reference an non-existent file in your HTML build tags. So, for example, I had.

 <script src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>

But my dist directory inside bower_components didn't exist.

Hope that helps!

Another possible fix is to downgrade Node to 0.10. Once I did that everything seemed to work.

[randylien]

Thanks @runlevelsix , it seems like people will encounter dependency issues in node 0.12. I will update this repo and mention this in README.

[knutmarius]

Any fix for this that does not involve downgrading to node 0.10?

[randylien]

I updated sass task to fix this issue. Please try @0.0.29.
