I figured that node_modules/node-sass/ was containing:

$ ls -1 node_modules/node-sass/
bin
binding.gyp
CHANGELOG.md
lib
LICENSE
node_modules
package.json
README.md
scripts
src
test

Where it should look like:

$ ls -1 node_modules/node-sass
bin
binding.gyp
CHANGELOG.md
lib
LICENSE
package.json
README.md
scripts
src
test
vendor

So I re-installed it:

$ sudo npm i node-sass --python="/usr/bin/python2" --unsafe-perm

> [email protected] install /srv/flood/node_modules/node-sass
> node scripts/install.js

And now the directory seems normal:

$ ls -1 node_modules/node-sass 
bin
binding.gyp
CHANGELOG.md
lib
LICENSE
node_modules
package.json
README.md
scripts
src

And now it works

$ sudo npm run build

Hope it can help someone.

@jfurrow by the way : flood ask for node-sass 4.5.3+ and when reinstalling I installed node-sass last version that is 4.6.1. By seeing tags change-log I saw that 4.6.0 brought nodejs 9 support. So if we want to support nodejs 9 we need to update the package.json. See PR #534

That's why my problem was solved because I was running nodejs 8.8.1 and I checked that [email protected] is normally containing vendor. So that's mysterious.

Another error that can happen when having an outdated node-sass:

npm run build

Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Linux 64-bit with Node.js 9.x

Found bindings for the following environments:

This usually happens because your environment has changed since running `npm install`.
Run `npm rebuild node-sass --force` to build the binding for your current environment.
