After upgrading the nodeJS version to 10.0.0, building the frontend of ALEX fails with following error message:

The issue was that the grunt-sass library has not been updated to the latest version of node-sass yet, which supports node.js v10 since v4.9.0. I removed grunt-sass in favor of node-sass and it should be fixed now.

Make sure you update the NPM to v6. Clear the node_modules directory and the NPM cache and install the dependencies again:

rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean --force
npm install
