Error: Uncaught Exception: spawn tail ENOENT

[schajuli]

Getting this error since today without any changes ... what's the cause?

Edit: Some context, it suddenly stopped running by today and a new start immediately crashes ... I have not changed anything, but don't know either how to fix it?

When I try to rebuild it fails as well ....

TypeError: date.format is not a function

just in case anyone else comes searching this forum for this error (cause nothing comes up at the moment). my forum died and this is the last of the log, and...
