Outdated node-sass is incompatible with node 12

[leo-cheron]

Hey,

The node-sass dependency needs to be updated as node-sass won't run with the current version of node (12+).

I'm getting this in Visual Studio 2019 16.5.0 when I do this in my Gulpfile.js (using "gulp": "4.0.2" and "gulp-sass": "4.0.2",:

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

Failed to run "C:\project-x\Gulpfile.js"...
cmd.exe /c gulp --tasks-simple
C:\project-x\node_modules\node-sass\lib\binding.js:13
throw new Error(errors.unsupportedEnvironment());

In my brief test, bumping the node-sass dependency to 4.13.1 did not break anything.

[mmunchandersen]

@harski I have never touched package-lock.json. Is this where you have bumped node-sass to 4.13.1?

(sass / node-sass / releases: https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases)

@mmunchandersen I put "devDependencies": { "node-sass": "^4.13.1" } to my own project's package.json and ran npm install. The dependency got resolved to a node 12 compatible version.

thanks @harski it appears to have solved my issue too

This can also be fixed by both bumping the internal version or by allowing the compiler to be passed in as an argument via #748.
