Error running gulp-sass after update to Node v4.0.0

Question

I updated to Node v4.0.0 and after when I run gulp in my projects I get an error with regards to gulp-sass/node-sass, as follows:

Error: libsass bindings not found. Try reinstalling node-sass?

I've tried trashing all the node modules in the project and reinstalling, and I get some errors:

npm WARN package.json [email protected] No repository field.

npm WARN package.json [email protected] No license field.

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: the module is now available as 'css-select'

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: the module is now available as 'css-what'

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: use node-gyp@3+, it does all the things

All the other node modules seem to have installed fine. Its something with node-sass thats in gulp-sass that is causing issues.

Answer 1

Delete your node_modules folder, update gulp-sass to the latest in your package.json, which is 2.2.0, and run npm install again.
