pixel 2.3.1 builder on mac, missing gulp-saas

[amitai52]

Builder on MAC, after running in new directory: npm run compile I Get this error:

gulp module.js:327 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'gulp-sass' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:325:15)

I run: npm install gulp-saas was missing , and is installed

now the compile works somehow the builder skipped this dependency?

AND, to add to this, each time I update the package with a new module it removes gulp-saas, and I have to start over again

I'd appreciate some answer on this ...

Hi, this is an expected behaviour. Removing gulp-sass is important because builder is bundled with its own version of nodejs, and gulp-sass package is compiled strictly depending on the nodejs version/architecture (you will get an error if you try to compile scss sources using node-sass that compiled with node version different from yours). So I have to remove the package before/after each build.

I think there should be some solution I have to do npm install after each builder update? isn't builder supposed to take care of that?

I was thinking about this problem. As a solution, I can rename installed gulp-sass package on each build and then, after build process end, rename it back. Using that solution, you will need to run npm install command only after first build... I will implement this behaviour in the near time.
