This needs to be in the instructions.

This error doesn't seem to touch our code at all. It looks like this is an error in the coffeescript node module.

Do you get the same error with a blank Cakefile?

We don't yet support Coffeescript v2, as it's only just come out. You'll need to downgrade to the previous version.

@smblott-github I'm not going to have a chance to make a PR until Friday. I'm happy to do it then, but feel free to change it sooner.

I'll try and get us up to Coffeescript v2 standard when I can, it looks like we can get some nice improvements from it going forward.
