not sure if this is related to the OP's issue, but when i `npm i` and run my app locally, now i get this error:

Error: Cannot find module 'browser-sync-client/dist/index.min.js'

pinning browser-sync-client to 2.27.9 in my package.json seems to fix the error

the error is caused by the index.min.js file not existing which i confirmed in my node_modules

seemingly this was introduced in this commit
