Docker image with node-sass on arm processor












1















I'm building my CI on gitlab and one of the jobs I need to execute is to compile sass stylesheets.



In order to compile sass I'm using node-sass which when installed needs to be compiled from source.



In order NOT to compile every time node-sass from source, I created a docker image with:




  • node and npm

  • node-sass installed globally (npm install --unsafe-perm -g node-sass)


In my project's package.json I kept node-sass devDependencies with the very same version of the one installed in the docker image described above.



My problem is that when I execute npm install (right before compiling my scss), npm tries to install node-sass again and goes through the whole compilation from source process.



How can avoid this?



One solution I thought, is to remove node-sass from the devDependencies and just add them as optionalDependencies or something, but I don't like this dirty solution.



Does anyone even know why npm tries to install node-sass anyway even though the version requested by package.json it is globally installed?

          I solved by adding node-sass to package.json as optional dependency like so:



          "optionalDependencies": {
          "node-sass": "4.10.0"
          },


          and now, whenever I need to skip the installation because I know there is a global version installed, I just do:



          npm install --no-optional


          This is kind of a work around nut it works great.
