Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with npm start on the listed Node.js and npm versions; this invokes the gulp example-server entry point. Inspect that task and the related dependency versions to identify why the examples abort, then verify that the examples start successfully without the reported assertion.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Versions Used
  • nodejs -> v17.4.0
  • npm -> v8.3.1

I've looked at these similar issues below and they seem to be able to at least run the gulp server:

Steps To reproduce

  1. clone fresh copy of this repo
  2. npm install --legacy-peer-deps
  3. npm start

I'm unable to run the examples using the existing npm start script command and get the following error below:
