npm install fails

[phulst]

I cannot get 'npm install' to succeed in this project. I keep getting the following error:

> gulp-rails@ postinstall /Users/peter/projects/lifesizey/gulp-rails-pipeline
> gulp build

util.js:634

I have tried with various versions of node 0.10, 0.11 and 0.12 but always get the same error. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Googling around got me nowhere... thanks

updating the following dependency in package.json

"browser-sync": "~1.9"

resolved the issue for me.

Can confirm this also works with: "browser-sync": "~2.4.0",

Had the same issue, got it to work with "browser-sync": "~2.4.0". Thanks, @phulst @joeswann .
