Installation fails at node-sass

[rebuilt]

Hello, thanks for your project. I'm trying to follow the steps in this book: https://www.apress.com/gp/book/9781484270516

The installer fails at the node-sass step.
There's a lot of information printed but I think the important bit is

error /home/{usr}/workspace/javascript/react/integratingd3withreact/your-project-name/node_modules/node-sass: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node scripts/build.js

error.txt

❯ yarn -v
1.22.11

yarn add node-sass completes without error. I'm not sure what I should try.

@EliEladElrom I'm having the same issue after executing the command yarn create react-app starter-project --template must-have-libraries, which might involves the version of node-sass that isn't compatible with my NodeJS version as per this link from StackOverFlow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60394291/error-node-modules-node-sass-command-failed

My node -v returns 16.9.1 which is the latest current version, while your node-sass version defined in the dependencies is 4.14.1

My solution is to update the node-sass version to >=4.14.1, which seems to work just fine after i run yarn to install the deps on a clone version of this repo. But again, after that i run yarn start, another error shown:

Hey @HelpMe-Pls thanks for the comment and finding out the issue and solution. It's better to specify exact version, what version of node-saas you using, is the latest version works?

[HelpMe-Pls]

@EliEladElrom, thank you for the suggest of exact version. I tried deleting node_modules and yarn.lock then specifying the latest version by running yarn add [email protected]. The output is exactly the same as my previous comment (of which i'm unable to find a solution). My current node-sass version (at global scope i believe) is also 6.0.1:

What i did above was trying to use the latest compatible versions of NodeJS and node-sass following their document, but for some vague reasons, the pair doesn't work. So i tried the LTS version of NodeJS which seems to be a compatible match with the 4.14.1 version that you specified (according to https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-sass), by running the commands: nvm install v14.17.6 and nvm use 14.17.6, deleting node_modules and yarn.lock once again then run yarn and yarn start, works just fine, problem solved 💯

It just seems like node-sass prefer to work with the LTS version of NodeJS, i don't know why it doesn't work with the latest current version. It is what it is, @rebuilt, i hope you try out my possible solution for this issue and see if it solves the problem, for now...

Hey @HelpMe-Pls this is typical issue with nodejs/npm and other libraries. For that reason I also set this project on docker if you familiar so you don't need to deal with envs;
$ docker run -p 8080:80 elieladelrom/cra-template-must-have-libraries thanks for putting this out here, I hope it will be useful for others. Lastly, I just added dependabot.yml that will help identify libraries that needs to be updated.
