TypeError running gulp

[jcass77]

I started with a fresh clone of the repository and received the following TypeError when running gulp.

Unhandled rejection TypeError: __html.replace is not a function

Changing the gulp-inline-css devDependency from git+https://git@github.com/centralcollegenottingham/gulp-inline-css.git to ^3.3.0 seems to have resolved the issue.

Hi. There is a reason why a bespoke version of gulp-inline-css is used, because it has a few bugs/quirks in it, which I fixed but didn't go to upstream. I'll certainly have a look and see what the issue is.

[jamesmacwhite]

I have rm -rf node_modules and ran npm i again, then tested gulp and it worked OK. Can you confirm your node/npm version?

I'm running:

Node: v6.3.0
npm: 5.3.0

Edit: You may want to try testing the develop branch, the issues might be occurring on the master branch, which is quite old. If that's the issue I'll do a merge.

[jcass77]

Currently running:

Node v9.6.1
npm: 5.8.0

Issue also occurs with Node LTS version:

Node v8.10.0
npm 5.6.0

Same issues occur on the 'develop' branch, which I am currently using.

That's strange, I can't replicate the issue here at all. Can you let me know the specific task this error is thrown after. I'd imagine, its likely one of the CSS related gulp tasks.

The only thing I'm doing differently that I can think of is that I did not install gulp globally, and that I am using nvm to mange node.js versions on OSX.
