dependency 'natives' is locked to a version which crashes with nodejs 10

[cjsin]

As per this issue:

• Native crash in Node 10 gulpjs/gulp#2162

The package 'natives' (version 1.1.0 in package-lock.json) needs to be updated to avoid a crash when running 'npm start' (see following backtrace). It's possible this may only affect users with nodejs version 10. (my version is 10.6.0)

Upgrading 'natives' to version 1.1.3 solves the issue.

Workaround for users using nodejs 10:

 npm install natives@1.1.3 

or:

  rm -rf node_modules
  rm -f package-lock.json
  npm install

example of the problem:

$ npm start

> solved-by-flexbox@ start /home/dev/nodejs/solved-by-flexbox
> gulp serve

gulp[30024]: ../src/node_contextify.cc:631:static void node::contextify::ContextifyScript::New(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>&): Assertion `args[1]->IsString()' failed.

Faced with the same problem. Solution from above is worked perfectly.

Same problem. Installing latest natives worked for me too:

 npm install natives@1.1.6
