Node-sass: Node Sass could not find a binding...: Linux 64-bit with Node.js 7.x

[lorencole]

Having trouble with linux binaries again, this time on node 7. Issue began when upgrading from node-sass 3.13 to node-sass 4.5

• Deleting node_modules and reinstalling did not resolve.
• 'npm rebuild node-sass -f' did not resolve.
• Downloading the file from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases and copying to 'node_modules/node-sass/linux-x64-51/binding.node', that worked, but doesn't seem like the prefered upgrade method.

Error: Missing binding /home/parallels/git/catalist-controlpanel/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-x64-51/binding.node
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Linux 64-bit with Node.js 7.x

Found bindings for the following environments:

• Linux 64-bit with Node.js 5.x

This usually happens because your environment has changed since running npm install.
Run npm rebuild node-sass --force to build the binding for your current environment.

The error message is fairly clear.

You've changed from Node 5 to Node 7 but didn't clear you node_modules.

@xzyfer As I stated in my bug

• Deleting node_modules and reinstalling did not resolve.
• 'npm rebuild node-sass -f' did not resolve.
• Downloading the file from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases and copying to 'node_modules/node-sass/linux-x64-51/binding.node', that worked, but doesn't seem like the prefered upgrade method.

It seems like you get a fair number of incident reports for this issue, that's probably because the suggested resolution doesn't work. I'm not even sure the root cause, a node upgrade, is correct. I ran into this issue updating my node-sass version, not node.js. I have updated Node.js but it was months ago, node_modules was deleted and reinstalled after the upgrade, and this project has been building just fine since - right up until I updated node-sass from 3.13 to 4.5

If you are interested in investigating this issue I'm happy to provide what information I can.

Thanks!
