I hit the same error. I suspect you're using node 12 and gulp 3. That combination does not work: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/2324
A previous workaround from Jan. does not work either: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/2246
Solution: Either upgrade to gulp 4 or downgrade to an earlier node.

I am running MacOS 10.13.6 and use Homebrew to keep Node and NPM up to date. I've updated to Node '11.0.0' and NPM '6.4.1' today. I've installed Gulp '3.9.1' globally. When i try to run Gulp in my project folder i get the following error (before '11.0.0' everything worked flawlessly):
$> gulp
fs.js:25
'use strict';
