Came across this bug. As we found out (ReferenceError: primordials is not defined) this is a bug that occurs on node.js version >= version 12 when working with gulp version 3.9.1 and below. I didn’t find how to fix it - I had to roll back the node.js version to the latest version 11
ps. I will supplement the answer ) a solution was found without the need to downgrade node.js https://timonweb.com/javascript/how-to-fix-referen...
