events.js: 141 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Solution 1

Check whether any other Terminal is running other Applications on the same port. This happens when multiple applications trying to access the same port, Its always FIFO.

Good Luck!!!

Solution 2

First Look for the other applications is running on the same port may be another node application.

To find the current process running on the same port use:

MAC:

You can try netstat

netstat -anp tcp | grep 3000

For OSX "El Capitan" or if your netstat doesn't support -p, use lsof

lsof -i tcp:3000 

Then kill the process

kill pid

You can try to kill all node process use:

killall -9 node

Solution 3

ENOENT means that spawn was unable to find the binary you are looking for. Make sure that what ever you are trying to spawn is in your path.

In this case you probably don't have gifsicle installed.

Solution 4

Fixed the problem. There was a problem with the permissions for assets - if gulp can't take all assets. Then always there will displayed an error. I deleted the assets manually. I think i must be careful with(out) the "sudo" - command...

    I'm trying to run node 4.2.2 on a Mac OS and i'm not understanding why every time i get this error message:

    events.js:141
          throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
          ^
    Error: spawn /Users/user/Documents/Projects/project-x/node_modules/gifsicle/vendor/gifsicle ENOENT

    c12320:project-x user$ 
    

    What's going wrong? If i run "gulp build" there is this output:

    c12320:project-x user$ gulp build

    How are you running this? How did you install gulp? What are the permissions for that folder? ls -l will give more information.
