Could anyone tell me solution for this

Answer 1

I sometimes also get this error when starting my gulp server. My workaround is to just run:

npm rebuild node-sass

And then gulp starts nicely afterward.

Answer 2

It is a problem with older version of node-sass. It doesn't create vendor folder in node_modules/node-sass. I have updated the version of node-sass and it worked fine for me.

My older version of node-sass was 3.1.0

I simply did:

npm install node-sass@3.7.0

This should solve your problem as well.

Answer 3

Please try below ..It worked for me

$npm update $npm install $nodejs node_modules/node-sass/scripts/install.js $npm rebuild node-sass

Answer 4

Make sure you have the config.json file. Then do the npm install and npm start.

This might give this error if you don't have this config file.

Answer 5

The vendor directory is created during npm install. Try deleting your node_modules and running npm install.

Answer 6

Update your gulp-sass in package.json with new version

"gulp-sass": "3.1.0" // 3.1.0 or later 

This is the link which i follow https://github.com/dlmanning/gulp-sass/issues/508
