Error installing node-sass using local binary

Question

I'm using node 14 and Jenkins behind a corporate proxy I can't get node-sass to install properly.

So I've installed it locally in two places

• For SASS_BINARY_PATH: /var/jenkins_home/linux-x64-83_binding.node
• For SASS_BINARY_DIR: /var/jenkins_home/vendor/linux-x64-83/binding.node

I tried SASS_BINARY_PATH :

SASS_BINARY_PATH=/var/jenkins_home/linux-x64-83_binding.node npm install node-sass
npm install --no-lockfile
npm run build

But I get this error when building:

Module build failed (from ./node_modules/mini-css-extract-plugin/dist/loader.js): ModuleBuildError: Module build failed (from ./node_modules/sass-loader/dist/cjs.js): Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/var/jenkins_home/workspace/root_project_dir/project/node_modules/node-sass/vendor'

And I tried SASS_BINARY_DIR :

SASS_BINARY_DIR=/var/jenkins_home/vendor npm install node-sass
npm install --no-lockfile
npm run build

But this ends up trying to download the binary which is the problem I'm trying to avoid in the first place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here's my package.json if that helps:

I solved this by manually creating the node_modules/node-sass/vendor directory after npm install and copying the binding.node into the linux-x64-83 directory:

npm install node-sass --sass-binary-path="/var/jenkins_home/linux-x64-83_binding.node"
npm install --no-lockfile
mkdir -p node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-x64-83
cp /var/jenkins_home/linux-x64-83_binding.node node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-x64-83/binding.node
npm run build
