Unable to deploy babel example about examples

[DavidWells]

I was unable to reproduce this error. What version of the framework are you using?

I followed the below steps and this example deployed with no error on sls 1.5.0

What does your ES6 code look like?

Steps

Install this example

sls install --url https://github.com/serverless/examples/tree/master/aws-node-function-compiled-with-babel --name babel

Then deploy with sls deploy

 babel  sls deploy
Serverless: Creating Stack...
Serverless: Checking Stack create progress...
.....
Serverless: Stack create finished...
Serverless: Packaging service...
Serverless: Babel compilation:
tmpBabelDirectory/createResponse.js -> tmpBabelDirectory/createResponse.js
tmpBabelDirectory/handler.js -> tmpBabelDirectory/handler.js

Serverless: Packaging service with compiled files...
Serverless: Uploading CloudFormation file to S3...
Serverless: Uploading service .zip file to S3 (5.03 MB)...
Serverless: Updating Stack...
Serverless: Checking Stack update progress...
...............

I'm very confused as to why I was having an issue earlier now... I just followed these steps and everything worked correctly:

sls install --url https://github.com/serverless/examples/tree/master/aws-node-function-compiled-with-babel --name babel
cd babel/
npm install
sls deploy

Thanks for an awesome framework and for looking into this, sorry for the trouble!

I was just playing with this a bit more to help try to figure out what I was doing wrong. I noticed the issue when I was using node 4.3.2 with npm 2.14.12. but the service deploys successfully using node 6.9.4 with npm 3.10.10.

I am getting the error something like:

const stdout = result.stdout.toString();
