Problem is described there:

webpack-contrib/less-loader#53

but in my case this was because of lacking font-awesome in node_modules...

I fixed by

npm i font-awesome --save-dev

[gustawdaniel]

But is is strange because of font-awesome is in dependencies.

[gustawdaniel]

I see thatn npm i change a lot of things in package-lock.json it is connected with

npm/npm#20434

Is there any recommended version of node and npm to develop this project?

Example of changes

       "requires": {
-        "micromatch": "2.3.11",
-        "normalize-path": "2.1.1"
+        "micromatch": "^2.1.5",
+        "normalize-path": "^2.0.0"
       }

or

I had

node -v
v8.11.1
npm -v
6.4.1

I updated

Now using node v10.7.0 (npm v6.1.0)

Than I had error:

• Node Sass does not yet support your current environment (macOS 10.12.1, Node 7.0.0) Open file from HTTP-URL (without WebDAV) #1764

sass/node-sass#1764

I fixed by removing node_modules and npm install.

but problem is still present.

I tried npm update

Only success that there is small amount of vulnerabilities

Before update

audited 8295 packages in 21.476s
found 60 vulnerabilities (17 low, 20 moderate, 20 high, 3 critical)
  run `npm audit fix` to fix them, or `npm audit` for details

After update

s and audited 12347 packages in 72.15s
found 46 vulnerabilities (16 low, 16 moderate, 13 high, 1 critical)
  run `npm audit fix` to fix them, or `npm audit` for details

S I hope I do not broke nothing by this update. Anyway

./node_modules/.bin/grunt dev

does not works because of error

Running "sign-html:app" (sign-html) task
Warning: Error signing app html. To build without sign, please launch grunt with --skip-sign. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

so I will try

./node_modules/.bin/grunt dev --skip-sign
