gulp-sass doesn't seem to play nice with sass imports

Right now if any of my sass files have an @import in them I get an error like this:

stream.js:94
      throw er; // Unhandled stream error in pipe.
            ^
source string:1: error: file to import not found or unreadable: 'normalize'

Where normalize is a normalize.scss in the same directory.

This seems to be because you are using the data option without an includePaths.

This could maybe be solved with an includePaths option?

gulp.src('./styles/main.scss')
  .pipe(sass({includePaths: ['./styles']}))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./styles'))

My problem was caused by a combination of Sublime Text and a slow hard drive. We were able to solved it by changing the setting atomic_save to true. Preferences > Settings - User > "atomic_save": true

@Shaker-Hamdi Great idea! Basicly the right cause.

So we can slow down the complie speed and code gulpfile like this:

gulp.task('sass:dev', () => {
    return setTimeout(() => {
        return gulp.src('./sassPath/*.scss')
        .pipe(sass())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./distPath/css'))
        .pipe(reload({ stream: true }))   //if you use browser-sync
    }, 500)
})

It works fine for me! Hope it could be helpful.
