App fails to start, "weird error 8"

[OAGr]

Right now if you just remove the reference to _elev in
guesstimate-app/webpack.config.js:5 and line 17 it should work. It's something about the elev tag breaking, but this isn't too useful when its running locally. Not sure why this works on my current set up, it broke when I re-installed it.

Spent some time trying to fix it, not much luck yet.

After remove reference to eleve on line 5 and 17, I now get:

/home/guillaume/gits/guesstimate-app/webpack.config.js:6

It seems to be a syntax error, not a reference to a tag. Same as yalla, I have no npm knowledge.

Using npm 2.11.2 on debian/mint.

Actually, looking above, I would bet this would have something to do with your version of node and npm. I'm using node v4.1.2 and npm v3.3.9

Without updating node or npm, a git pull just now helped; the server now starts.

Great to hear. I have a feeling like @lomignet 's issue may still exist for him, but that is a separate issue.
