zsh: trace trap  gulp scss-lint

No idea. This happens no matter what gulp task I run, and none of them depend on my browsers-sync task. In fact, it still happens even when I comment that task out.

Gulpfile

gulp.task('scss-lint', function() {
  gulp.src('/scss/*.scss')
    .pipe(scss-lint());
});

package.json

"devDependencies": {
    "browser-sync": "^2.0.1",
    "del": "^1.1.1",
    "gulp": "^3.8.11",
    "gulp-sass": "^1.3.2",
    "gulp-scss-lint": "^0.1.6",
    "gulp-size": "^1.2.0",
    "psi": "^1.0.5",
    "run-sequence": "^1.0.2",
    "w3cjs": "^0.2.0"
  }

I've had some weird issues with nvm lately. Wondering if that has something to do with it.

❯ node -v
v0.10.36

I deleted the browser-sync directory from node_modules. Then tried another gulp task.

❯ gulp watch

Gulpfile.js

gulp.task('watch', function () {
    gulp.watch('_sass/*.scss', ['styles']);
});

Deleted references to browser-sync in my package.json and gulpfile.
I uninstalled globally and locally in npm.

❯ npm uninstall -g browser-sync
