node-sass no such file or directory

[Damon Zhao]

when I execute npm start, it shows this:

ERROR in ENOENT: no such file or directory, 
scandir '/Users/AriesDevil/Documents/workspace/elm_workspace/girion/node_modules/node-sass/vendor'

I had this error too and found others encountering it here: davezuko/react-redux-starter-kit#791

I haven't investigated enough to know the root cause, but based on that thread I deleted my node-sass folder and manually reinstalled it (npm install --save-dev node-sass). That seemed to fix the issue for the moment (possibly because that bumped me up to node-sass 3.8.0 from 3.7.0)

I can fix it after rebuild the node-sass using this command:

npm rebuild node-sass

This command will build the vendor folder.
FYI: I'm using node-sass version 3.8.0

@ciaran-phillips @phoenleo thx~

Eh... not really sure this issue should be closed. We've got a workaround but I assume it's still a problem

Maybe @moarwick can weigh in

I'm not great with npm but if I get a chance in the next few days I can dig in a little and try to confirm it's just an issue with that version of node-sass. Hopefully I can submit a PR

ok, had a look.. i think we can close the issue. i pushed a minor update (a few updated packages) but most likely you had a node version mismatch. whenever you run into any such issues, reinstall all dependencies afresh:

    rm -rf node_modules
    npm i

hope it helps!
