node-sass package is incompatible with latest version of node

[olefredrik]

When using the latest stable version of node (v0.12.0), the npm install && bower install will fail. I get the following error message

npm ERR! Darwin 14.3.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! node v0.12.0
npm ERR! npm  v2.5.1

npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the node-sass@1.2.3 postinstall script 'node scripts/build.js'.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the node-sass package,

A temporary solution (that works) is to switch back to node version 0.10.33.

I'm using the libsass version of Foundation in my FoundationPress repository. More info in this thread olefredrik/FoundationPress#209. I'm looking for a better and more elegant solution. If you should get this to work with node v.0.12.0, feel free to share your insights :)

Thank you @olefredrik this works perfectly with Foundation libsass.

Just wanted to chime in. Took me a few frustrating hours of trial and error before I stumbled upon your post and was able to fix it. Thanks!

Thanks @olefredrik! I got the same issue as well. Just a quick note on switching back to version 0.10:

1. Install nvm: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.23.3/install.sh | bash
2. nvm install 0.10
3. nvm use 0.10
   fyi - https://github.com/creationix/nvm

I put in a pull request on this repository to update the package.json to require node-sass v.2.0.1 and grunt-sass v.0.18.0.

As a work around, if you want to use node v.0.12.0

After an aborted install of foundation 5 with the cli using the -libsas flag:

If you edit the package.json and change these above two dependecies, then run npm update, grunt will build and everything will work with node v.0.12.0. It's also backwords compatible with node v0.10.33.

However if you run foundation update, it will break it again, as it will pull the old package.json from the repo.

I also forked the repo here and updated the package.json file:

https://github.com/randmanrjr/foundation-libsass-template

You can edit the foundation gem on your system to clone this repo instead of the zurb one until they get this issue fixed.

hi,
im newbie in web development, and i never used before node or scss, i tried to get foundation-press up and running without success... i keep getting the same error:
(i suppose is npm install)

npm ERR! Exit status 8

I'm using centos as SO, initially I installed node 0.10.36 (with yum) and overwritten with the 0.10.33 that i've obtained with n.

Do you have any suggestion? or idea in what I'm doing wrong??

Sorry for my english (it's not my language)

Hi,

try editing the package.json file and changing the following dependencies to the versions listed below:

“node-sass” : “~2.0.1”
“grunt-sass” : “~0.18.0”

then run npm update.

That is was worked for me.

Good luck.

worked!!! thank you!!
you save my day :D

now i just have to understand why wordpress do not load the theme in the appearance manager...

[randmanrjr]

Make sure that you’ve uploaded the theme files to the correct directory in your wordpress install:

./wp-content/themes/FoundationPress

You may need to create the FoundationPress folder and then upload the theme via FTP.

solved the folder owner was me and not apache, changed that and everything was fine

Thanks again!

My issue was that the scss syntax had an error, exclude your scss files and then re-include them one by one.

In response to this thread, I changed version to 0.10. But still getting the error. Could you let me know what I can do to remedy this?
