couple of issues locally and on heroku

[JHPDF]

Hi, I'm having a couple of problems with a fresh clone (which I wasn't having the first time I installed).

The build runs fine but npm start throws:

Error in plugin 'gulp-autoprefixer'
Message:
Unsupported source map encoding charset=utf8;base64
Details:
fileName: /Users/johnhill/Padrino/cobudget/fork/cobudget-ui/app/index.css

so that the index.css doesn't compile, though I can copy the old version into the build folder

secondly, with the server started, I get a bunch of transition errors on the index.js, possibly related to

Error: $http.get(...).success is not a function
which could be a angular version problem, giving an endless loading screen after login.
Happens remotely as well - https://quiet-dawn-41297.herokuapp.com/#!/

Got the errors both before and after moving from node 4.6.0 to 6.9.2

any help would be

Thanks
