gulp-sass 5 does not have a default Sass compiler; please set one yourself

Question

Error in plugin "gulp-sass" Message:

gulp-sass 5 does not have a default Sass compiler; please set one yourself. Both the sass and node-sass packages are permitted. For example, in your gulpfile:

var sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('sass'));

This is my code below . It says var sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('sass')); in the error but I am using import and none of the solution worked for me I am new to this and the cli version is 2.3.0 local version is 4.0.2 please give me a solution I am stuck here for days

import gulp from 'gulp';
import sass from 'gulp-sass';
import yargs from 'yargs';


const PRODUCTION = yargs.argv.prod;

export const styles = () => {
    return gulp.src('src/assets/scss/bundle.scss')
      .pipe(sass().on('error', sass.logError))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/asset/css'));
}

Solution 1

I had this problem and found that adding the standard sass npm npm install --save-dev sass and then adding the second section of the error message to my variable so that it looks like this const sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('sass')); worked.

Solution 2

If you, like me, use a modular system. Then this solution should help you!
You need to install SASS
It is also necessary that the gulp-sass be installed

import pkg from 'gulp';
const { src, dest, series, watch } = pkg;
import concat from 'gulp-concat'

import dartSass from 'sass'
import gulpSass from 'gulp-sass'
const sass = gulpSass(dartSass)

function scss() {
    return src('app/scss/**/*.scss', { sourcemaps: true })
        .pipe(sass.sync().on('error', sass.logError)) // scss to css
        .pipe(concat('style.min.css'))
        .pipe(dest(config.build.style, { sourcemaps: '../sourcemaps/' }))
}

async function builds() { scss() }
export { builds }

I fixed this but only by installing SASS and not the 2nd thing. Adding (require('sass')) to the end of my sass = statement just returns TypeError: sass is not a function.

It's so bad that after installing the gulp-sass I have to get an error and then google how to fix it. Basically, after installing gulp-sass everyone installs a broken plugin.

As it says to set compiler in your code, sass.compiler = require('sass'); also works fine.
