• dart sass be the right alternative (Mark Node Sass as deprecated sass/node-sass#2952)

Unfortunately, we haven't updated dependencies for building and currently it's only known to be working with lts/erbium which is node 12 (https://github.com/brightcove/videojs-playlist-ui/blob/master/.nvmrc).
If you need to build this manually, I would recommend switching to node 12 for now for this repo.

No luck with node v12.22.7

Error output (abridged, showing only the first ENOENT message):

npm WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/abhinav/node12/videojs-playlist-ui/node_modules/.staging/es-abstract-4c1b3ae3/2019/ToDateString.js'
...

I can see 2016/ 2017/ 2018/ 2020/ 2021/ but no 2019/
