What were you expecting to happen?
Gulp to transpile vue.js components into usable and functional JS.
What actually happened?
When I run gulp contacts
(shown under the Code and Configuration section below), the transpiling runs fine. No errors are outputted in the terminal, and everything appears to complete successfully. The problem is, when the page is reloaded I have an error in the console stating Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
. When looking at the source, devtools shows something along these lines:
module.exports = function parseHeaders(headers) {
var parsed = {};
var key;
var val;
var i;
if (!headers) { return parsed; }
utils.forEach(headers.split('\n'), function parser(line) {
i = line.indexOf(':');
key = utils.trim(line.substr(0, i)).toLowerCase();
val = utils.trim(line.substr(i + 1));
if (key) {
parsed[key] = parsed[key] ? parsed[key] + ', ' + val : val;
}
});
return parsed;
};
},{"./../utils":26}]
There is normally a source map at the tail end of this file but in this case there is none, so there's a dangling bracket that's still open or something in the transpiled file. Given the nature of transpiling, it's unfeasible to try to find the syntax error.

Attempted Remedies:
I've tried:
- Running:
rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean
npm install
npm update
Upgrading node and npm to the latest versions (that was a huge mistake -- way more problems were introduced)
Set
debug: false
in the gulp tasksRan
npm rebuild node-sass
Duplicating my coworker's
node_modules
. This is unfeasible as a permanent solution, as I can't have him install a new plugin and airdrop me an archive of hisnode_modules
every time I need new functionality.Duplicating known working package.json and package-lock.json both from production systems and from two separate coworkers working on the same project. With the known working package*.json files, I ran
rm -rf node_modules
,npm cache clear --force
,npm install
, and received the same results.Reviewed the Common issues and Their Fixes page as per Gulp's documentation
I've exhausted the extent of my knowledge, and Google searches are returning sparse results at this point. The feeling of defeat is becoming very real, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE
npm support got back to me and after some troubleshooting, we've eliminated both node and npm as being the issue. This is most likely due to a gulp plugin or gulp itself, per the npm support's advice.
UPDATE #2
Tracked down the issue to be related to Axios. gulp is not importing the contents of that module properly, and as a result, the JS is not transpiled completely. This question has taken a different route now. I will answer it once a solution has been pinpointed for (a) what's causing this, and (b) how we were able to resolve it.
