Please bump the phantomjs-prebuilt dependency to at least 2.1.8 to fix a crash when the TMPDIR environment variable is not set. Upstream fix: Medium/phantomjs@5e6598f

Workaround: set TMPDIR=/tmp on Linux to avoid this report:

Bump package versions for gulp-sass and phantomjs-prebuilt
c738f8f 
gulp-sass is bumped for node v7.10.0 support.
phantomjs-prebuilt is bumped past 2.1.8 to solve installation failure
when TMPDIR is not set.

Note that one dependency is still unfixed and thus needs a workaround:

Is this issue solved or what..?

I had this error in an other project, and adding phantomjs-prebuilt ^2.1.8 to the dependencies resolved the problem.
Then, thanks !
