node-sass install issue... on Windows only?

[brzpegasus]

I can no longer run npm install -g mimosa successfully, even after cleaning my npm cache. Things run fine up until the build portion:

...
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/css/-/css-1.0.8.tgz
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/uglify-js/-/uglify-js-2.2.5.tgz

> node-sass@0.5.3 install C:\Users\edeblois\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\mimosa\node_modules\node-sass
> node rebuild.js

I'm not sure my npm-debug.log would be much more helpful:

I haven't dived into this to see what the install is trying to do, but the spawn ENOENT error looks strangely familiar: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#5841.

Someone else had the same issue: isaacs/npm#3656

@andrew any chance you've seen this before?

[brzpegasus]

I ended up logging it here: sass/node-sass#123.

It's not related to mimosa, but it does stop mimosa from installing.

[dbashford]

I can confirm this with version 0.5.3 on windows. However, 0.5.2 seems to install ok. You seeing that?

[brzpegasus]

Yeah, that works for me too.

[dbashford]

So I've pushed 0.13.17, downgrading the node-sass version. Looks good on my end.

[andrew]

I'll take a look at this now, there were some changes that I though may causes issues but didn't have a windows machine to test

[brzpegasus]

Downgrading to node-sass to 0.5.2 seems to do it. I can install mimosa as well now.

[andrew]

I've just published node-sass v0.5.4 which reverts the building changes, should hopefully fix this.
