Error: need proper browserify instance, on windows machine

[damirkusar]

Hi,

I have a own seed https://github.com/damirkusar/leptir-angular-seed. When i execute it with gulp, then i get this error message, but just on a windows computer:

Error: browserify-shim needs to be passed a proper browserify instance as the first argument
you passed:←[32m'C:\Users\Damir\test\leptir-angular-seed\node_modules\gulp-browserify\node_modules\browserify

do you know what that could be?

I'm seeing the same issue with my gulp build on Windows. On my Mac the exact same build works fine.

Any ideas on how to fix this ?

I'm able to get my build to work now using 'node-debug' although it takes much longer :

npm install -g node-debug
node-debug gulp

Maybe this is a timing or environment issue ?
