Expected behavior

after stencil start - thought it would start

Actual behavior

Received this error Error: The libsass binding was not found in C:\Users\msumner\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules@bigcommerce\stencil-cli\node_modules@bigcommerce\node-sass\vendor\win32-x64-72\binding.node

Steps to reproduce behavior

Hello. Try reinstalling your node_modules: npm ci and make sure you use the same node version when installing node modules and running stencil-cli commands

Hi Max,

I am really new to the nodejs world so sorry for not knowing the order of things.

I went to my cornerstone directory and ran npm ci

Then stencil init – the info was there for my site, port, token Then stencil start and still got the same error.

In a previous attempt I had changed my nodejs folder in program to nodejsx , it recreated a nodejs folder. That is how I had gotten a little further, the step fixed issues I was having on my laptop.

I am trying to get it running on my desktop. I believe I may have a few applications that may be using nodejs under the hood – Adobe Dreamweaver not sure what else, but I am willing to start from scratch also.

On the step you asked me to run should I have run that at a different location? Should I have run other commands before or after, before I tried stencil?

Thanks,

Mike

@nbsmikes Oh, my bad, I meant reinstalling the packages in stencil-cli, but since you a probably using a global stencil-cli package (installed as npm i -g @bigcommerce/stencil-cli) - just reinstall it for your current Node version: npm i -g @bigcommerce/stencil-cli

@nbsmikes hey, have you managed to fix the issue?
