SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /.{1,0}/: numbers out of order in {} quantifier

See original GitHub issue

I’ve tried to build Semantic-UI in clean Docker environment. Here is Dockerfile:

FROM node:latest
# FROM node:4

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app/
WORKDIR /usr/src/app/

RUN npm install -g gulp && npm install semantic-ui --save

I’ve tried with two configurations:

node:4: nodejs v4.8.3 + npm 2.15.11
node:latest: nodejs v7.10.0 + npm 4.2.0

And I’ve got same result:

> semantic-ui@2.2.10 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/semantic-ui
> gulp install
