Assertion `args[1]->IsString()' failed? *GULP*

You should update your course material to explain this error, which I assume everyone gets... I'm finding a lot of disccusion about downgrading node, but nothing seems to help.

Failed to run "E:\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\lcc-dotnet-aspnet-web-api-s2cc1\src\IssueTracker\Gulpfile.js"... cmd.exe /c gulp --tasks-simple gulp[15064]: src\node_contextify.cc:631: Assertion `args[1]->IsString()' failed.

i was able to get it working after this

in Package Manager Console in visual studio

if you have npm installed

type

npm install gulp@3.9.1 --save-dev

into the console and that seems to allow the task manager to find the gulp file.
