Question

I am trying to run two of the below commands :

npm install
npm audit fix

in VS Code when the below error is reported.

error C2664: 'v8::String::Utf8Value::Utf8Value(const v8::String::Utf8Value &)': cannot conver
t argument 1 from 'v8::Local<v8::Value>' to 'const v8::String::Utf8Value &

Any help to resolve this is much appreciated!!

Answer 1

This described the issue, and this somewhat-hidden post helped me fix the buggy node-sass .cpp file to where I was able to proceed, using the version I wanted to.

I edited the node-sass create_string.cpp file, changing v8::String::Utf8Value string(value); to v8::String::Utf8Value string(v8::Isolate::GetCurrent(), value);.

Answer 2

Change Nodejs to version 10.19.0, node-sass not working with Nodejs 12.

Answer 3

Change Nodejs version to [email protected] for nodeJS 12.
