gulp-svg-sprite: Latest Node version on windows causes [Build Error] Skipping "%s" (%s) error

Hi!

Until this morning I had a perfectly fine working gulp-svg-sprite (v 1.2.19) task running with the following config:

{
    mode: {
        defs: {
            dest: '',
            sprite: 'service-icons.svg'
        }
    },
    svg: {
        xmlDeclaration: false,
        doctypeDeclaration: false
    }
}

And the following Gulp task:

gulp.task('service-icons', function () {  
    return gulp.src(config.src + 'images/service-icons/*')  
      .pipe(svgmin())  
      .pipe(svgsprite(config.svgConfig))  
      .pipe(gulp.dest(config.build + config.img.svg.path));  
});

This morning I’ve updated node.js to the latest version on Windows (via node-v4.3.1-x86.msi). Since then I’ve got the following build error on the gulp-svg-sprite task.

Skipping “%s” (%s) error

Can’t get it to work anymore, what I’ve tried/concluded this far:

• my svg source files do not contain ‘%s’
• disabling SVGO via transform: [] does not solve it
• Adding { prefix: ‘’ } to config > mode.defs does not solve it
• disabling svgmin() does not solve it.
• restarting pc after node install and updated dependencies

Any help, tips or tricks would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
