Node-sass: [Unsupported] Installing 3.13.1 with Node 8

[tjistooshort]

Not sure if a bug, but I will try to explain myself and what I've done to get it.

So, basically I've just setup a droplet in DigitalOcean and tried to deploy a Laravel application and I've got a 404 error when it tries to download this file:

https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v3.13.1/linux-x64-57_binding.node

If I visit the link it actually returns a 404 page.

After a few hours of reading other issues posted here (and other forums) someone suggested to manually copy the binary to the ~/.npm folder (which I did with no success).

This is what I have there:

npm -v
5.0.3

node -v
v8.1.0

node -p process.versions
{ http_parser: '2.7.0',
node: '8.1.0',
v8: '5.8.283.41',
uv: '1.12.0',
zlib: '1.2.11',
ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
modules: '57',
openssl: '1.0.2l',
icu: '59.1',
unicode: '9.0',
cldr: '31.0.1',
tz: '2017b' }

node -p process.platform
linux

node -p process.arch
x64

node -p "require('node-sass').info"
node-sass 3.13.1 (Wrapper) [JavaScript]
libsass 3.3.6 (Sass Compiler) [C/C++]

npm ls node-sass

I have another droplet with a different environment (npm 3.8.3/node v5.10.1) and when I try to deploy the same project, everything works perfectly.

The v3.13.1 release of node-sass, required by gulp-sass 2.x, does not contain binaries for node 5 (module version 57), which is why you get a 404.
Try upgrading your gulp-sass to version 3 or above.

Thanks @bcrosnier

At the moment upgrading gulp-sass is not an option unfortunately. Should I downgrade node to a previous version then?

[nschonni]

Node 8 is only supported with node-sass 4.5.3

Yes you can downgrade to Node 4 to use gulp-sass@2. It's worth noting there
are no breaking changes between gulp-sass 2 and 3 so upgrade should be
painless.
