Ionic setup sass - error

I get this error when trying to "ionic setup sass"
Any ideas how to fix this?

I put “npm-debug.log” to this link
and complete test project ZIP file to this link

3

So from the looks of the error, it looks like you have node 0.12. Can you try with node 0.10.36 instead?

Thanks mhartington. With 0.10.36 work OK.

5

I was having a similar error to do with Python missing when trying to run

npm install

Uninstalling Node v0.12 and installing Node v0.10.36 from here:
http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.36/x64/
fixed my problem.

6

I just installed the latest version of node too (0.12.0)… getting the same issue with sass errors.

How do I install the 0.10.36 version in the command line on windows?

Thanks!

7

The link above from @GFoley83 should be give you the right version of node you need.

@mhartington @GFoley83

I have installed that correct version of nodejs and am still getting an error.

I installed the node version 0.10.36

Then ran npm install -g cordova ionic

Then ran ionic start ProjectName blank

…all works fine up to here.

Then cd into ProjectName

and ran ionic setup sass which fails and says Error running npm install

Any ideas? :frowning:

@mhartington @GFoley83

I have rolled back my version of node to 0.10.36 and further still to 0.10.26 and that makes no difference at all

I am using the latest version of Ionic which might be making a difference?

With this setup which is on my other PC it does work…

Node: 0.10.26
npm: 1.4.3
Cordova: 4.2.0
Ionic CLI: 1.3.13

On this PC the command ionic setup sass doesnt work and I currently have…

Node: 0.10.26
npm: 1.4.3
Cordova: 4.3.0
Ionic CLI: 1.3.14

I dont know what could be causing the error, hmm

Here’s the console log leading up to the error after running ionic setup sass on a brand new created project:

change gulp-sass version to “^1.2.0” in package.json file and try again.
Ionic team must update this version in sources to avoid errors.

You get “Successful npm install” - result.
Congrats you have already install sass to your project)
but it seems you did’t install gulp globally.
To do it run “npm install -g gulp” - and try again

13

the last version of nodeJS doesn’t support node-sass 0.9.4 - in this case dev must use gulp-sass ^1.2.0 that requires node-sass 2.0.1

I am still very confused by this because it seemed as though my work pc is working correctly, however with what ‘seems’ to be the same setup on my home pc it errors all the time.

I did see that too and ran npm install -g gulp, but then there was yet another dependency error after that.

Shouldnt ionic install gulp and all necessary dependencies automagicaly anyway? I thought to start an ionic project all you needed to do was install the latest version of Nodejs (therefore installing npm) and then run npm install -g ionic and away you go?

15

Right…

I’ve just uninstalled all my npm packages (ionic cordova gulp phonegap) and ran npm ls to make sure there was no more packages

Then uninstalled npm and Nodejs from my machine, and I’ve done a fresh node install of version 0.10.36 and npm 1.4.28

C:\Users\Matthew>npm ls
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@1.4.28
npm info using node@v0.10.36
C:\Users\Matthew
└── (empty)

npm info ok

So I have now have this setup:

C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\IonicProjects\testAfterFreshInstall>ionic info

Your system information:

OS: Windows 8
Node Version: v0.10.36
Cordova CLI: 4.3.0
Ionic Version: 1.0.0-rc.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.3.14

I then create a new project by using ionic start testAfterFreshInstall which created my new directory fine.

Then cd into it and ran ionic setup sass. It runs a load of requests but then ends with…

npm info installOne isarray@0.0.1
npm info installOne core-util-is@1.0.1
npm info installOne string_decoder@0.10.31
npm info installOne inherits@2.0.1

Error running npm install

Then I ran npm install -g gulp to see if that would help for any reason (which worked fine)

Then ran ionic setup sass again and this time it doesn’t download loads of things and runs quickly but errors with…

npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@1.4.28

@mhartington @bobrov1989 Sorry for all the posting, just really trying to get this sorted!

After I got those errors I previously posted, I ran npm ls in that ionic directory and this is the output… seems like a lot is missing
