This was working until a few minutes ago now I am receiving this error npm ERR!

.. aaand now it's working again. not sure what fixed it nor what broke it. I regenerated my slack bot key, and tried nmp update but I don't think either one fixed it.

Hm, hard to say. If it happens again you can export the environment variable NODE_ENV to development before running, to enable debug information.
