Readme mentions

sprintf-js runs in all active Node versions (4.x+).

On node 13 sequential gulp tasks definition throw on any gulp job run due to jobs being defined in gulp 3 way where the package.json specifies gulp 4 as dependency

tasks preventing gulp runs are:

• test
• dist
• default

details how to fix https://www.liquidlight.co.uk/blog/how-do-i-update-to-gulp-4/

example: bad gulp.task('test', ['lint'], function() {

ok gulp.task('test', gulp.series('lint', function() {

I don't have time to fix it, sorry. If anyone thinks this is important, I would consider a PR that addressed this.

I would anticipate a confirmation that indeed it is a reproduceable bug. Fix is litellary pasted into the report (last lines).
