Gulp-sass: Node-sass version outdated

[EpicOkapi]

The current version of node-sass, used by gulp-sass, is outdated and doesn't always work properly with node v8.

Same here, first of all thanks for this awesome plugin;)
I'm struggling with errors resulting from bug with libsass, that is supposed to be already fixed there.
-> Force evaluation of results from map-get. Fixes #2309
Is is possible to update NodeSASS in order to get the fix?

Just as a note: https://github.com/dlmanning/gulp-sass/wiki/Common-Issues-and-Their-Fixes#node-sass-version-not-up-to-date describes how to solve that issue without needing this repo to update!

essentially, do

import gulpSass from 'gulp-sass';
import nodeSass from 'node-sass';

gulpSass.compiler = nodeSass;

Hey, this is currently breaking the issue fixed in https://github.com/sass/node-sass/issues/1589 for me. node-sass now provide binaries for Alpine, but the latest Alpine version is not supported by gulp-sass because the version of node-sass included is too low.

npm install logs:

Step 9/11 : RUN npm i

Downloading binary from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.5.3/linux_musl-x64-59_binding.node
Cannot download "https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.5.3/linux_musl-x64-59_binding.node":

.....

Note the linux_musl-x64-59_binding.node. This binding is only available with node-sass v4.6.0+. gulp-sass currently uses v4.5.3.

It's also worth noting that the workaround by @WraithKenny will not fix the issue as the old v4.5.3 binary will still be built - which is very slow (compared to downloading a binary).

The workaround for this at the moment is to downgrade the Alpine version.

npm update node-sass will pull the latest node-sass supported by gulp-sass.

node-sass is currently missing several windows binaries for 4.x releases, including the version installed by default with v3.1.0. This is causing gulp-sass to not work without manually compiling node-sass, which is a hit-or-miss process on windows machines.
