Error: 'tried to require: stylus'

[jkarttunen]

Any idea where this might come from. This used to work.
Using Node 4.8.3 :(

> xxxxx@1.6.13 build /Users/xxxx
> gulp build

/Users/xxxxxxx/xxx/node_modules/gulp-stylus/node_modules/accord/lib/adapter_base.js:105
        throw new Error("'tried to require: " + this.supportedEngines + "'.\nNone found. Make sure one has been installed!");
        ^

Error: 'tried to require: stylus'.
None found. Make sure one has been installed!

Did you install stylus?

[jkarttunen]

Yes. Works fine on node 6.x 8.x and 10.x, I think it's something in accord repo.
Tried with gulp 4 and 3

@jkarttunen what happens when you do npm ls | grep stylus?

I'm having a similar issue and this is what I get

This is a really old site is doing an update on. I'm not sure what the root cause was but I just upgraded to Node 6.

[stephenlacy]

@ballerabdude did you install stylus in the root package.json in the project?
Newer versions of npm remove the tree cascading approach, thus you will may need to install stylus along gulp-stylus

[ballerabdude]

Unfortunately, that does not fix it. Upgrading node versions will do the trick.
