@jaegz there have been a few updates since you posted this, can you confirm whether its still an issue?

[jaegz]

@erquhart thanks I'll give this another go and get back to you

Similar on OSX with node 10. Using node v10.5.0 (npm v6.1.0). Yarn does not work at all, npm show a several warnings and security vulnerabilities, but somehow works. Is there any branch I should switch to?

[erquhart]

Just updated and ran locally with yarn and didn't encounter any problems. Using OSX, Node 10.13.0, npm 6.4.1 and yarn 1.12.1.

[erquhart]

Really want to help, but need a way to reliably reproduce, seems to be an environment issue so far.

Running into the same issues with yarn 1.13.0, npm 6.8.0 and node 11.8.0 on osx. Has anyone found any solutions?

[numbfall]

The error you got after doing npm install gulp is due to gulp dependency upgrading gulp to gulp 4.0.0.

one-click-hugo-cms will not work with gulp 4. More specifically the gulpfile.babel.js is not written to work on gulp 4.

Try and revert gulp to version 3 "gulp": "^3.9.1", in package.json. See if the problem persists. Refresh the node_modules folder if possible

I have also been seeing this issue but environment/system dependent. I did get it running on a windows 10 machine by uninstalling NVM, Node, and NPM, then reinstalling only node and npm. I wish I followed the steps I took but did not. Meanwhile my OSX system continues to error out. Using gulp 3.9.1 got farther in the process but hit the error:

[18:53:41] 'js' errored after 44 ms
[18:53:41] WebpackOptionsValidationError: Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration.module has an unknown property 'loaders'. 

And then various others. Just offering my experience.
