Answer 1

I fixed this by using the Node.js tool installer and targeted node version 10x. Make this your first task. This made it so I didn't have to upgrade gulp to 4. I'm building on ubuntu-16.04

Answer 2

I was getting this error while I was using Gulp 3.9.1 and NodeJS 12.14.0.

I have solved uninstalling NodeJS 12.14.0 and installing NodeJS 10.13.0 version.

Then everything worked properly.

Answer 3

If you are using Microsoft hosted agents, the version of nodejs is automatically updated to the latest LTS.

So now you have to update your build to use Gulp 4. I found this blog helpful for the migration.
