Changing to Sass on an existing project does not work

[PerfectPixel]

According to the docs you may change our css preprocessor on an existing project (see here.

However this will not work at least for Sass as the node-sass dev-dependency is missing on existing projects.

This affects at least version 1.0.0-beta.10. I did not check the webpack-branch.

Installing node-sass as a dev-dependency resolves the issue.

Don't know why has it been downvoted. I was having the same issue, css files were not being generated from .scss. npm install node-sass --save-dev did the trick. How could it be solved when changing an existing project to sass with ng set defaults.styleExt scss?

@caroso1222 How did you fix this exactly?

I am trying to convert an existing project over to sass. CLI is still looking for css files that are not being compiled from my scss files in my components.

I did the NPM install as you mentioned, but what other configuring did you do..if any? Thanks!

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.2
node: 6.3.0
os: win32 x64

EDIT: This does work! Thanks.... FYI, for anyone else experiencing this problem....make sure you have every relative URL to each file changed to scss from css. I thought I changed all, but I missed the root 'app.component.css' styleURL.

This is a problem with our README. It's listing instructions for the latest webpack version but that is not the latest in npm. To install the webpack version, see https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#webpack-preview-release-update
