Can't install node-sass

[brzpegasus]

Running npm install node-sass gives me this error:

Forgot to mention I'm seeing this on Windows (7) with Node 0.10.13.

[brzpegasus]

Actually, this commit cfe6e89 removes rebuild.js. It must not have been pushed to NPM? Or am I missing something?

[brzpegasus]

Hmm, no. Checked out node-sass from master and ran npm install to see. Now I'm getting too many fatal errors with node-gyp:

I guess I'll just wait to hear back from someone =).

For 0.5.3, it looks like this commit made it fail on Windows: dd6fcd0
because of this Node issue: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#5841

[andrew]

I'll get this reverted and release a new version this evening, sorry for the issue.

[andrew]

I've just published node-sass v0.5.4 which reverts the building changes, should hopefully fix this.

[brzpegasus]

It does indeed. Thanks!

[benfrain]

Unsure if this is related. On one machine, using node-sass 0.6.1 as a dependency of Grunt installed fine with npm install. However, on another, it hangs on node rebuild.js. Left it 10+ minutes and nothing happens.

If I revert to 0.6.0 the node rebuild.js part completes fine (OSX 10.8 in both cases).

[benfrain]

Beg your pardon. If I revert to 0.5.3 it completes fine. Reverting to 0.6.0 seems to suffer the same issue (prob something I'm doing mind). I'm using Node 0.10.15.

[andrew]

I'll take a look into it, are you on a mac or linux?

[benfrain]

Mac OS X 10.8 in both cases. Different physical systems though e.g. not using Virtual Machines. Once machine flew through and worked as expected. Only one seems to have this issue so it's probable I'm doing something stupid (Grunt newb). Perhaps wait until someone else reports similar issue before wasting any time on it. I'm merely changing dependency from:

{
  "name": "grunt-test",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "devDependencies": {
        "grunt": "~0.4.1",
        "grunt-contrib-watch": "~0.4.3",
        "grunt-bake": "~0.1.0",
        "sass-node": "0.5.3",
        "grunt-sass": "~0.6.0",
        "grunt-contrib-concat" : "~0.3.0",
        "grunt-contrib-copy" : "~0.4.1",
        "grunt-play" : "~0.1.0",
        "grunt-contrib-connect" : "~0.3.0"
    }
}

To:

{
  "name": "grunt-test",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "devDependencies": {
        "grunt": "~0.4.1",
        "grunt-contrib-watch": "~0.4.3",
        "grunt-bake": "~0.1.0",
        "sass-node": "~0.6.1",
        "grunt-sass": "~0.6.0",
        "grunt-contrib-concat" : "~0.3.0",
        "grunt-contrib-copy" : "~0.4.1",
        "grunt-play" : "~0.1.0",
        "grunt-contrib-connect" : "~0.3.0"
    }
}

[andrew]

I did notice it last night as well, but then when i ran it again it sorted itself out, doesn't seem to happen on travis.

Hopefully I'll get time to look into it tonight.

[andrew]

Just released v0.6.2 which should fix this

[benfrain]

All working great now, thanks for your efforts. :)
