Why can't I use @use with this? about gulp-sass HOT 2 OPEN

Can you post an example of what isn't working? A GitHub repository, CodeSandbox or something else?

gulp-sass is just a thin wrapper around sass, and I use @use without problems myself. Most likely there's a problem with your setup, but you don't give much detail about it.

Now, HOW do I make sure that I use the right [...] version

In your project:

npm install sass gulp gulp-sass --save-dev

In your gulpfile:

const gulp = require('gulp');
const sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('sass'));

from gulp-sass.

Same here, I had to manually wrap sass and it works like charm...
while passing the importers when calling gulp-sass didn't work!
