NPM Run Watch error - no CSS complied

[johnw6761]

I have one repo where my SCSS folder doesnt not appear to be being watched. After making changes and saving files no CSS files are complied. Command line doesnt show any errors and just stays on 'Starting watch' message.

This issue is on version 5.0

I am having the same issue.

@anaelleltd try :

1. deleting node modules folder
2. then in package.json change line 27 to "gulp-sass": "3.0.0"
3. then re run npm install

Thanks johnw6761! I just saw your message.

This is what I did to get it working:

1. manually delete the node modules folder from the theme folder.
2. run the CLI and enter npm install node-sass --force (this forces the installation of node-sass)
3. enter npm install (this installs the remaining node module files)
4. enter npm rebuild (this patches all installations together)
5. enter npm uninstall (I believe this cleared the cache??)
6. enter npm install-test (this attempts to run the build and displays error with .scss or .js files)
   Basically, at this point, the npm build is working without throwing a "missing gulp sass" error.
7. enter npm run build
8. refresh browser to see updates/changes
