Error running `npx wpgulp` (Windows)

Hello,

I have been trying to get past the first step, but running npx wpgulp (on Windows) just results in a barrage of errors for me.

(I am more than happy to pay for the time to provide support / or cover the cost of an hour’s maintenance).

Please find the first screenshot of running the command, followed by two screenshots of errors:

You can see various versions, of npx, node and npm below:

I’ve also attached below the error log from \AppData\Local\npm-cache\_logs:

I would very much appreciate some guidance.

Thanks again and kindest regards, Elliott

Hopefully someone finds this helpful in the feature… I believe the issue is being caused by node-sass. I followed the recommendations from @WiseArts. But thought I would break it down more fully for those like me!

1. Ran npx wpgulp - got the error message. Came to Github found this issue.
2. Ran npm uninstall gulp-sass
3. Ran npm install gulp-dart-sass --save-dev
4. Updated the const in gulpfile.babel.js - from require(“gulp-sass”); to require(“gulp-dart-sass”);
5. Had to update the outputStyle const in the wpgulp.config.js file from compact to compressed. (you may or may not have to do this step.)
6. npm start - start building the greatest WP theme ever!

I hope this helps someone.

Try using nvm, and node 14.15.3 (Or whatever the best version is there.) Works for me!
