Publishing an npm module fails - possible Windows 10 issue

[bschwartz757]

Hello,

Thanks for the awesome product!! I've been working my way through the excellent demo material to put together a presentation for a small JavaScript meetup I organize. I completed the steps up to the Build Routes stage, at which point I realized I needed to have my component published on NPM to proceed. Everything was pretty straightforward but when I ran $ npm publish the process failed. The cause seems to be within gulp prepublish. I wasn't able to find any info on submitting issues, so I figured this was as good a place as any. I'm on Windows 10 but also have access to a Linux setup so I'll try to replicate the steps there and see if it succeeds. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me for additional info.

Here are the contents of the npm debug log:

27 error There is likely additional logging output above.

And here is the start of the error message that was printed to the console:
