Foundation-sites: Zurb template fails to build using Node v7.0.0

[kobrix]

How can we reproduce this bug?

1. Step one

impetuously upgrade Node to v7.0.0, like a fool

1. Step two

npm start

1. Step three

watch it fail

What did you expect to happen?
success, riches, fame

What happened instead?
angst as my deadline approaches

I tried updating npm, updating packages, but eventually downgraded Node:

brew uninstall node
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/node/7.0.0... (3,861 files, 44.3M)
node 6.8.1 is still installed.
Remove all versions with `brew uninstall --force node`.
brew link node
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/node/6.8.1... 7 symlinks created

... and relax, build system working again.

It looks like it choked on gulp-sass:

Cheers.

@kobrix be careful about using the latest version of Node when developing. I find things more stable when I keep a few versions back from the latest. Also, I highly recommend using nvm to switch between different versions of Node without having to uninstall/reinstall every time you switch.

I'm closing this issue for now as @DaSchTour seems to have resolved it. Feel free to reopen if you still have problems once Node Sass is supported in Node v7.0.0.

[kobrix]

@colin-marshall yes, it wasn’t exactly on purpose that I upgraded Node and downgrading was easy but I thought it was worth posting anyway in case it helped anyone else who might hit the issue. And yes, nvm is a good thing.

[colin-marshall]

Thanks! Figured you were probably aware of it but it's so useful that it's always worth mentioning.
