Bug Report

Trying to use Fomantic-UI in my npm project produces error ReferenceError: internalBinding is not defined.

{
  "name": "semantic-saasty",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "custom semantic-ui for saasty",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "fomantic-ui": "^2.6.4"
  },
  "author": "**",
  "license": "**"
}

npm install

We have tracked the error to the vanilla installation of Fomantic-UI:

Steps to reproduce

1. clone Fomantic-UI
2. cd Fomantic-UI
3. npm install

Expected result

Interactive installer should be visible.

Actual result

$ npm install

> [email protected] install /Users/rw/Sites/saasty.io/frontend/css/node_modules/fomantic-ui
> gulp install

internal/util/inspect.js:31
const types = internalBinding('types');
              ^

Testcase

Tried with node@10 and having same error.

Tried steps in 6357, but using "Fomantic" repository, got this error at the last step:

Here is something i found:

1. clone Fomantic-UI
2. run npm install .. will fail
3. run gulp build .. will fail
4. run gulp install is ok
5. run gulp build .. is ok
6. run npm install .. is ok

another clue is:

from temp-folder:

Romanss-Mac-mini:Fomantic-UI rw$ npm install gulp

Clue lead to workaround:

  "dependencies": {
    "fomantic-ui": "^2.6.4",
    "gulp": "^3.9.1"
  },

With this - our build works again.

In the next release this issue seems to be fixed but the gulp task seems to hang after selecting the, I will look into this further when I get some time.

@ColinFrick you may also want to have a look.
