Here's the logs and exception from the command that I'm getting - the command still works in 7.0.0

It looks like the cause is in Node 7.1.0 itself: nodejs/node#9542

[felixrieseberg]

☝️ You are correct, there's little we can do - but given that all kinds of tools are broken with Node 7.1, I'd recommend going with Node 7 instead.

[Rohail1]

I have the same issue. Node 7.1 and windows 10. When can we expect a fix ?

[felixrieseberg]

It's already out: Just update to Node 7.2. The error was in Node, so there was nothing we could do here.

[realtebo]

You should support last LTS of node. Imho. A lot of company cannot simply switch to another version without heavy testina.

[felixrieseberg]

@realtebo: LTS is still on Node 6, which is totally supported. Only Node 7.1 is faulty, simply due to an error inside the Node codebase, not with this module.
