Issue with gulp watch

[D8ATech]

I seem to be having a problem with gulp that I can't find an answer to after searching for more than an hour including the issue #6 that is closed.

1. I cloned the framework
2. I run npm install and wait for everything to complete
3. I run npm run gulp watch and the terminal just returns with no messages

Environment

Environment: OSX 10.15.2 (Catalina)
npm/npx --version : 6.13.6
node --version : v13.5.0
gulp --version : CLI version: 2.2.0, Local version: 4.0.2

Error I tried just gulp watch and this shows the following error:

internal/fs/utils.js:229
    throw err;
    ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '**/node_modules/node-sass/vendor'

  errno: -2,
  syscall: 'scandir',
  code: 'ENOENT',
  path: '**/node_modules/node-sass/vendor'

The ** in the path is just the path to where I am storing my test app

I checked and sure enough there is not a directory or file named vendor in the node-sass folder.

I purged my npm cache clean, updated all my global npm packages but nothing I do allows this to run.

Notes: Simple clone of the framework. No files have been changed and only the npm command has been run to install all the packages

Question: It seems that the error is in fsutils. But this package is not listed in the package.json so it must be a dependency

Hi there! After step 3, if you add content to the index.html file, can you see it in the browser? The gulp file (browsersync) should open a new blank page in your browser.

ps: gulp watch is not necessary and will result in errors.
