Solution

  • I've run into similar issues resolved by the following:

    What seems strange to me is the core@1.0.113 requirement, which is not a dependency of anything show from you npm oudated output. That's where the compress_buffer dependency is coming from. Is there anything else installed globally that can be causing issues - npm outdated -g?
