回答1:

As per my knowledge

Async Await is not available in node v6.5.0,

which you are using. So you can upgrade your node version or can start using Promise object with the same version of node.

In my case, npm list chokidar helped me realize it was another module (gulp-nodemon) that used a newer version of chokidar. It worked after downgrading it.
