"<stream>:1:1": proto: cannot parse invalid wire-format data

I figured out the problem related to installing Dart Sass as mentioned above. Here’s the answer for those interested.

If you receive the message Warning: dart-lang/dart/dart 2.18.6 already installed there are a couple of steps you must take.

  1. Run brew update
  2. If prompted run brew tap --repair
  3. Run brew update again
  4. Brew will find outdated formulae
  5. Upgrade by running brew upgrade

This forced all version to be up to date where as before it would never upgrade past 2.18.6, which means Sass would continually fail.
