Can't build production package

Question

NPM version (npm --v): 5.4.2
Gulp version (gulp -v): CLI@1.4.0, Local@3.9.1
JHipster version: 4.6.1
Node version: 6.11.3

I'm unable to build a production package. Running the application completes without issues and the same goes for building a package with 'dev' profile.

For some reason when I run ".\mvnw -Pprod package" on the project's root directory I get this error:

I understand what it's telling me, I'm missing the .htaccess file but I never needed it before. I recently moved the project from my main drive to the backup drive and since then I can't generate a production package.

If I create an empty ".htaccess" where gulp needs it I get this other error:

(Sorry for the long logs)

I have tried many things, including the full deletion of the repo and cloning it again. I've also tried clearing NPM's cache as advised in this answer. At this point I don't know what else to try.

Thanks !!

Once on Windows I got issues because node was installed on C: and project was on D:, I put all on same drive and it worked. which version of node? — Gaël Marziou, Oct 02 '17 at 18:21
Using node 6.11.3. But I noticed jhipster installs a local node inside the project's directory. I'll try to move node to the backup drive too, thanks for the help ! :) — vicpermir, Oct 03 '17 at 06:08

I have solved this problem. Gaël Marziou put me in the right track to investigate conflicting versions of node or gulp.

After testing various versions of node, both local and global I tried disabling gulp tasks one by one, none of them helped me really even though the error messages did change. So I tried messing with gulp versions, and that was the answer.

I solved my problem by changing the following line in my package.json:

    "gulp": "^3.9.1",

to this:

    "gulp": "3.9.1",

And now everything builds perfectly.

Thank you very much :)
