Thanks to Andrew Connell for his advise. I tried everything what is available on the net and nothing helped. Hope it helps you.
As Joel mentioned, it seems like you might be in the wrong folder. If you run the yo command and choose the option to create a folder for the project, you are left in the wrong folder. Make sure you run the gulp command from the same folder that package.json is located.
My recommendation is always to create the folder (mkdir), switch to that folder (cd), then run the yo command.
What version of SPFx are you using? I just ran the yo command and used the create folder command. The result was a project that was not properly created, so you might have helped uncover a bug!
