Node-Sass binding environment - Ionic Pro Building Error

Appflow
1

Boy this is a messy one. I’ve tried removing node modules and reinstalling, rebuilding node-sass, downgrading node-sass, so I can’t help but think this is on the Ionic Pro side. Here’s my stack trace from the Ionic Pro failed build.

Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Linux 64-bit with Node.js 8.x

Found bindings for the following environments:
  - OS X 64-bit with Node.js 8.x

This usually happens because your environment has changed since running `npm install`.
Run `npm rebuild node-sass --force` to build the binding for your current environment.

Build works totally fine on my Mac. I think it’s trying to build with Linux on the server side and running into issues.

Any help?

I’m having the SAME issue… i really don’t know how to get around it

3

Working on it now, I’ll let you know if I find a fix

4

Looks like a server side thing to me. You should probably report it to Ionic via the Ionic Pro support system.

5

Welp, I managed to get it built somehow.

I reverted back to my last successful build’s package.json and package-lock.json, removed node_modules, then npm installed, and it built normally again. So I’m going to assume it has something to do with a random package I installed or upgraded. Still can’t figure out why it would think my environment is Linux but guess it’s working now.

I can post my before and after package.json if you want to analyze it.

6

I’d appreciate the before and after! Also, it’s looking for linux because it’s being built on the server, not on your machine when you push it via git.

I’ve ran back into this issue. I submitted a support ticket with the Ionic Pro team yesterday, might create a github issue with node-sass as well. Let me know if you can find a solution.

I created a ticket as well the day you originally posted so let’s keep this thread updated. I noticed another post regarding this too so hopefully it will get some attention.

Here’s what I got back from support, fixed my issue!

Thanks for reaching out to the Ionic Pro support team.

I had a look and I see you’re committing your node-modules/ dir. Your Ionic Pro repo shouldn’t include any of the dirs generated at build. Replace your .gitignore with the default located at https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic2-app-base/blob/master/.gitignore

Feel free to make any necessary additions but don’t remove any of the default ignored dirs. After recreating .gitignore run the following commands.

git rm -r --cached .
git add .

Push the changes up to your Pro account and see if that does the trick. I’d also recommend running the ionic doctor check command.

This has solved my issue I was facing for months with Ionic Pro builds
Thank you so much !!

This really helped. Solved my problem. Thanks a lot!
