Description

Hi,

I noticed that on a fresh Arch Linux installation, the express generator for the `sass` css engine is not working anymore.
That's probably because of missing support on the `node-sass-middleware` which seems to be quite out-of-date and not working properly anymore.

Has anyone a suggestion how to port the behavior to have a working sass middleware again with the most recent node?
Anyway, here is my setup to reproduce it:

Environment:
- `node -v` -> `v16.1.0`
- `node-gyp -v` -> `v8.0.0`
- `npm -v`-> `7.13.0`
- `express --version` -> `4.16.1`
- `uname -a` -> `Linux barch 5.12.3-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed, 12 May 2021 17:54:18 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux`

Steps:
- `express -c sass test`
- `cd test`
- `npm install`

Error:

Interesting is also that in the end it reports about versions of `node` and `node-gyp` but reports the wrong `node-gyp` version in my opinion:
> npm ERR! gyp ERR! node -v v16.1.0
npm ERR! gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.8.0

Every bit of help appreciated. Just want to change something on my personal website and can't start it anymore on a fresh setup without probably downgrading `npm`. But is this really the root cause?
