node-sass throw error when upgrade node to 4.0.0

Question

i'm developing an ionic app, and i use sass. when i upgrade my node version to 4.0.0, there is an error throw out about node-sass. the error is blow:

ionic $ /Applications/My-Project/nearbook/nearbooks_ionic/node_modules/gulp-sass/node_modules/node-sass/lib/index.js:22
    throw new Error('`libsass` bindings not found. Try reinstalling `node-sass
          ^
Error: `libsass` bindings not found. Try reinstalling `node-sass`?

    at Module._compile (module.js:460:26)

i have tried to reinstall all my node_modules (i delete node_modules folder and rerun node install) or run node rebuild node-sass but it still doesn't work.

when i downgrade my node version to 0.12.7 and reinstall all node_modules, my problem solved.

so i guess there is something wrong when node 4.0 compiling node-sass.

Anyone know how to fix this?

make sure you're using gulp-sass 2.0.4 by getting the newest gulp-sass

npm install --save-dev gulp-sass

and it should install its dependency on node-sass 3.3.2 which has node 4.0 support https://twitter.com/nodesass/status/641607400651288576
