Solution I was getting the error, after some debugging I found out the problem is that the json cache file this plugin uses was corrupted, the one at %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Gulp\.sublime-gulp.cache so I deleted its content and put the default .sublime-gulp.cache content, meaning just [] (yeah, only those 2 characters in the file).

If you cant find the corrupted cache file open caches.py and add print("PATH: " + self.cache_path); so you can see its path in the console (View > Show Console)

Good luck

Thanks a lot for posting your solution. I'll keep it in mind for future issues!

@NicoSantangelo the file seems to be constantly getting corrupted somehow
