Please look thru your error log for the string gyp info using node-gyp@ and if the version number is less than the current release of node-gyp then please upgrade using the instructions at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/docs/Updating-npm-bundled-node-gyp.md and try your command again.

Requests for help with node-sass are very common. Please be aware that this package is deprecated, you should seek alternatives and avoid opening new issues about it here.

I believe that was fixed in gyp-next v0.10.0 https://github.com/nodejs/gyp-next/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

[gengjiawen]

Reopen for still need more code to compate

[ghost]

This seems to be happening still with node-gyp 8.3.0 nodejs/gyp-next#132

[gengjiawen]

please try 8.4

[ghost]

Yup 8.4 fixed it, thanks

[EricHerlitz]

8.4.1, still seeing this error, although i literally just installed VS 2022 with the C++ package

Second that!

Please provide verbose output like @Aviortheking did. Just saying not working won't get you anywhere.
