Error running `npx wpgulp` (Windows) #207

elliottmangham · 2022-04-19T07:50:59Z

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:

2022-04-19T07_45_20_081Z-debug-0.log

I would very much appreciate some guidance.

Thanks again and kindest regards,
Elliott

I just tried uninstalling Node and reinstalling the LTS version 16.14.2, but it results in the same errors.

Maryanos · 2022-04-21T11:01:45Z

I have the same errors, well... smilar, but even more. I've uninstalled all node modules, deleted all .json files and started fresh so:

npm init -y
npx wpgulp

Bur nothing good is happening apart of errors and lot of deprecated packages warnings, is this tool still a good way to go in 2022 for WordPress development?
I was using @wordpress/scripts before to bundle my files and all was working fine.
Anyone have solved this?
Below is my full error log showing all commands starting from clean slate:

Same issue on MacOS.
First tried on 16.15.1 LTS then uninstalled it and installed 18.3.0 — no result.

elliottmangham · 2022-06-14T08:23:58Z

I have both macOS and Windows and can't get it to work on either, just resorted to my own Gulp.js config for the time-being, but would've loved to switch over to WP Gulp.

rawsta · 2022-06-30T22:29:39Z

Not sure, if it is related, but nobody mentioned it.
It's just a guess, but all the errors about missing Python (like: Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.) may suggest, that Python is missing.

IIRC, gyp is a python script, that helps NPM on Windows to work.

Have you python installed?

Maryanos · 2022-06-30T22:37:04Z

Have you python installed?
No actually I did not had Python installed that time and this could be the reason so thanks for pointing that out, but I have decided to not use the Gulp and invest my time in webpack.

WiseArts · 2022-07-05T19:02:08Z

I was able to get it to work by uninstalling gulp-sass and replacing it with gulp-dart-sass (there may be other sass modules that would work as well). (don't forget to update the require line in the gulpfile too)

ChrisWeiser · 2022-07-22T20:11:15Z

Have you python installed?
No actually I did not had Python installed that time and this could be the reason so thanks for pointing that out, but I have decided to not use the Gulp and invest my time in webpack.

Awais's build uses Python2, so you have to configure that first.

I'd prefer not to get my hands dirty with different versions of Python so I'm looking for simpler solutions.

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

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!

Ran npx wpgulp - got the error message. Came to Github found this issue.
Ran npm uninstall gulp-sass
Ran npm install gulp-dart-sass --save-dev
Updated the const in gulpfile.babel.js - from require("gulp-sass"); to require("gulp-dart-sass");
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.)
npm start - start building the greatest WP theme ever!

I hope this helps someone.

Thank you @wkjones, glad you got it going. Hope your project goes well! 🎉

I got the same errors when installing, but had issues compiling after following @wkjones steps.

So I went back and ran

npm uninstall gulp-dart-sass
npm install gulp-sass --save-dev
npm install sass --save-dev
In gulpfile.babel.js changed require("gulp-dart-sass") to require("gulp-sass")(require("sass"))

Oddly, there are no issues going back after getting it installed in the first place.

An other solution for the issue. Use nvm to switch between node versions. Use node 14.15.3 or similar and you will not get any errors.

To be honest, I wish I just rolled my own.
It took far too long to get this working.
It's good now and I've changed the config to compile any scss files rather than just one.
Not sure exactly how the vendor js is supposed to work but it doesn't.

use node version manager (nvm) switch node version 14 it's work for me
