Unable to build

[RazzM13]

I was just trying to replicate the build environment for this project and I've discovered that the project will not build.

Steps to replicate:

1. git checkout 2c5ff5dfac7d6962a68c08ee1bd16abeb2667c4f
2. npm install
   Output: npm_install.log
3. npm run build
   Output: npm_build.log

Expected: The npm run build to succeed without an error and to return a 0 exit code.

After some investigation, I believe that the fault lies with the version of the @types/colors package.

@RazzM13 Yeah, I was just about to comment that.

Looks like fresh builds are working fine on CircleCI so not sure why it would be happening in your environment. Let me know what you discover!

I believe that the core of the problem is the depedency cache system due to the fact that it checks the package.json file for changes, when perhaps it should be using package-lock.json. Therefore, the CircleCI build system might actually be using an earlier version of the @types/colors package instead of the new one that is published on npm and this of course would apply to all packages.

You can see my CircleCI failed build here.

Thanks @RazzM13, the patch has now been merged into master. Will look into package-lock.json!
