harpjs not compiling stylus with harp server

Question

harpjs won't compile stylus *.styl stylesheets when using harp server, harp server.

This is the error I get when I try to use main.styl as a stylesheet, linking it with main.css within my index.jade document (Jade is working perfectly, with no errors, I also tried using html documents instead of jade, but the issue was not resolved unfortunately.)

However, as soon as I add an empty main.css file in my file structure, the error disappears, although, no styles are applied (it's an empty document, what should I expect though right?)

So, I was wondering if anyone has come across this error, or abnormality before, and if so, how they fixed it,

Things I've Tried

• re-installing stylus (npm install -g stylus)
• re-installing harp (npm install -g harp)
• re-installing jade (npm install -g pug)
• re-installing pug (npm install -g pug)
• trying a different device
• trying a different os; (Linux instead of OS X)

All of which, unfortunately, didn't fix the issue.

Answer 1

I have a solution. Terraform is the pre-processor engine of harp and uses stylus 0.53.0, I update to stylus 0.54.5 (the lastest version) and now works.

I search terraform in harp directory: harp\node_modules\terraform\node_modules and update stylus: npm install stylus@0.54.5 --save

Answer 2

I didn't really fix it entirely, however, I did find a workaround.

As I use sublime text, I found a really nice stylus plugin, which allow for compilation on save, a really cool feature. So, basically, I'm just using harp as a jade preprocessor now which is ok, but hey, it sort of works now.
