ssh_deploy:prod -> Fatal error: must start with number, buffer, array or string

[betfold]

Hi Have a simple conf:

environments: {
    prod: {
        options: {
              hosts: 'website.net',
              username: 'username',
              privateKey: require('fs').readFileSync('/path/to/id_rsa'),
              deploy_path: '/srv/www/mywebsite',
              local_path: 'dist',
         }
    }
}

When I launch grunt ssh_deploy:prod I got this error:

Running "ssh_deploy:prod" (ssh_deploy) task

Connecting :: website.net
Fatal error: must start with number, buffer, array or string

Best regard
