Foundation-emails: fail to install new foundation-emails project

[jiehan1029]

I do see some old issues back in 2016 regarding to new project setup, but that doesn't solve my problem. anyone experience similar things recently?

How can we reproduce this bug?
On mac, already have
node v10.13.0
npm v6.4.1
gulp [16:14:42] CLI version 3.9.1
bower v1.8.4
git already installed.

mkdir an empty folder, cd into it, and then run
$ foundation new --framework emails
fill-in a random project name, and it starts to run, but end up with

npm ERR! git rev-list -n1 4.0: fatal: ambiguous argument '4.0': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
npm ERR! git rev-list -n1 4.0: Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
npm ERR! git rev-list -n1 4.0: 'git [...] -- [...]'
npm ERR! git rev-list -n1 4.0:
\
There were some problems during the installation.

✓ New project folder created.
✗ Node modules not installed. Try running npm install manually.
✓ Bower components installed.

if I cd into the project folder and run

npm install

it will error out saying

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! Command failed: /usr/bin/git checkout 4.0
npm ERR! error: pathspec '4.0' did not match any file(s) known to git.
npm ERR!

Can someone please help? Really appreciate it!!

Seems like it tries to get Gulp 4.0 but the dependency is out of date. Inside the newly created project's package.json I changed "gulp": "git+https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0" to "gulp": "^4.0.0" after that run npm install and now it seems to work. You might need to do npm uninstall -g gulp and npm install -g gulp-cli in order to get Gulp 4 running

@lxbdr Thanks for the solution. This actually worked.

[daniel-thisnow]

thanks you guys. Finally I got it working, I did the update to the gulp version plus "npm rebuild node-sass" and it is working. I thought I would never get there.

This is still an issue on foundation cli 2.2.5.

Installed today and ran foundation new --framework emails

This is the line in package.json:
"gulp": "git+https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0",

Should be:
"gulp": "4.0.0",

Hi @jsypolt,

We are aware of it.
