I got same bug. @anderspitman how did you solve it?

[anderspitman]

@hyzhak sorry this was a while ago and I don't remember, but I think I solved it by removing execSync from the package.json of the package that required it. It think it may have been grunt or something.

Found it!. That dockerfile explains the fix.
