Node Sass Error: Cannot find module 'mkdirp' - node.js

Question

I have the following package.json
"devDependencies": {
"bootstrap-sass": "*",
"buble": "^0.12.5",
"css-loader": "^0.25.0",
"gulp": "*",
"jquery": "^3.1.0",
"json-loader": "^0.5.4",
"laravel-elixir": "^6.0.0-14",
"laravel-elixir-browsersync-official": "^1.0.0",
"laravel-elixir-vue-2": "^0.2.0",
"laravel-elixir-webpack-official": "^1.0.2",
"lodash": "^4.16.2",
"sass": "*",
"sass-loader": "*",
"vue": "^2.1.10",
"vue-loader": "^9.7.0",
"vue-resource": "^1.0.3",
"vue-router": "^2.0.0",
"vue-stash": "^2.0.1-beta",
"vue-template-compiler": "^2.1.10"
},
"dependencies": {
"bootstrap-datepicker": "^1.6.4",
"jquery-simple-upload": "^1.0.0",
"json-loader": "^0.5.4",
"moment": "*",
"natives": "^1.1.6",
"vuejs-datepicker": "^0.9.24"
}
On using Yarn to install the modules I am met with
warning "laravel-elixir-vue-2 > sass-loader#4.1.1" has unmet peer
dependency "webpack#^2 || ^2.2.0-rc.0 || ^2.1.0-beta || ^1.12.6".

I'm not sure why/ who is installing node-sass but it brings me to this point regardless if I yarn clean cache rm -rf package.lock.json or rm -rf node_modules
I'm using
yarn 1.22.10
node 12.20.0
npm 6.14.9
on Linux homestead 4.15.0-124-generic #127-Ubuntu

Answer 1

Looks like node LTS is 14.something.
Maybe try updating that (and everything else)?

Not sure where install "mkdirp".
but you can install mkdirp#lastest first,
then let yarn/npm install all package again
to see whether "mkdirp" is a really problem or not.
yarn add mkdirp#lastest // or npm i mkdirp#lastest
then
yarn install // or npm i
