npm start not working on windows10

[miles182]

After cloning the repository and folliwing all configuration steps (npm/bower install etc.) the application fails to start via npm start., with the following error :

C:\Users\michael\IdeaProjects\a1-fusion>npm start

> [email protected] start C:\Users\michael\IdeaProjects\a1-fusion
> ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js --production

Der Befehl "." ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

It seems to be a windows 10 and node issue, modyfing the scripts object in package.json allows to run npm start (add node to the path):

"scripts": {
    "start": "node ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js --production",
    "start-dev": "node  ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js",
    "build": "node ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js build --production",
    "test": "node ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start karma.conf.js"
  }

I just wanted to log it here in case somebody else has the same problem and is looking for a solution.
