Error when compiling sass/scss

[eduardhojbota]

Now when compiling a valid scss/sass file, the following error is received:

Failed to compile D:/Projects/nepenthe-on-node/app/styles/main.scss: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

Platform: Windows 8.1 x64

P.S. It works on OSX 10.10 tho

Ugh, this is a node-sass bug, you can try using https://github.com/electronjs/electron-rebuild - node-pre-gyp sucks with Electron right now

[eduardhojbota]

Unfortunately electron-rebuild did not help.

[eduardhojbota]

After further investigation, it the origin of these issues is actually node-sass.

[anaisbetts]

@eduardhojbota If there is a node-sass bug open, can you link it here?

[eduardhojbota]

There isn't one at the moment, so I will create one and post it here.

P.S. sass/node-sass#1047

[anaisbetts]

@eduardhojbota Thanks!

[eduardhojbota]

Looks like we've got an answer pretty quickly. You might want to check it out.

[eduardhojbota]

Considering that node-sass does not offer support for electron (atom-shell) I shall reopen this issue.

[anaisbetts]

I have a plan to fix this, 🔜

[jgeurts]

Any word on a resolution for this issue?

[AnthonyPorthouse]

@jgeurts Running Electron v0.33.1 and electron-compile v0.9.2, this seems to work correctly for me now at least.

[eduardhojbota]

@AnthonyPorthouse, could you please specify your operating system as well?

[JoyceBabu]

I am getting the same error, but with ZeroMQ (zmq). Running electron-rebuild worked for me.

[AnthonyPorthouse]

@eduardhojbota Linux x86-64, but I was having the same issue previously. I'll try it on windows once I get back from work.

Edit: Ok yeah, still having this problem on Windows 10

[anaisbetts]

Sass is removed from the newest version of electron-compile, sorry :(

[eduardhojbota]

But if the node-sass was working for Unix, why remove it entirely?

[anaisbetts]

@eduardhojbota In the latest version of node-sass, it breaks Linux too for everyone, even if you're not using node-sass, by including a module that uses node-pre-gyp

[Aldlevine]

So I stumbled upon this issue when trying to get node-sass to work in electron myself. I figured out a way to do it on my system (Debian Jessie). Using nvm I switched to the version of node that electron is using, currently 5.1.1, and installed node-sass. It worked flawlessly after that. Just figured that I'd share my solution.

[stefanKuijers]

@Aldlevine That's a great first step. For me it works as well on Xubuntu. When create my app on Xubuntu and run it on Xubuntu it works but it does not work if I want to distribute the app for Windows or OSX.

Do you know how to solve this for other platforms as well?
For me it looks like the only solution would be to have Windows, OSX and Lunix installed and build from a platform for that platform. :|

What are your thoughts on that?

[stefanKuijers]

@paulcbetts so, if I understand right; the solution merged in with this PR --runtime=electron is no longer valid?

[stefanKuijers]

@Aldlevine I've tried the same for windows but that did not solve the problem. :(
