Node Sass couldn't find a binding for your current environment

Question

I am having issues building an app because node-sass keeps failing with the error.

ERROR in Missing binding /Users/warren/Sites/random-docs/my-cms/nod

Answer 1

Note I'm using VS 2015, 64-bit Windows 7.

Also works for VS 2017 and VS 2019 (from replies to this post)

Task Runner Explorer can't load tasks

For VS 2015

• Go to: Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > External Web Tools

For VS 2017(.3)

• Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Web Package Management > External Web Tools (per @nothrow)

In VS 2017 & 2019, you also need to put $(PATH) above $(VSINSTALLERDIR)\Web\External

---

• Reorder so that $(PATH) is above $(DevEnvDir)\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External

---

Deleting node_modules and running npm install and then npm rebuild node-sass did nothing.
