If electron is not installed either in the project or globally the error looked like this:
[2016-10-23T02:17:40.846Z] [electron-connect] [server] started electron process: undefined
[2016-10-23T02:17:40.846Z] [electron-connect] [server] created and listening on 30080

I didn't have electron installed (stupid me) and spent quite some time looking for problems in my gulp script and other places, and a more descriptive error message would've saved me a handful of minutes.
