Error:

I got this same exact error when my token contract was not using the new constructor() convention.
What is odd, is after I switch the token contract to the new convention, the compiler was happy. The next day it did the same thing, broke and complained about my crowdsale contract not using the new convention. (weird it didn't complain about this the day before) This was last week. I resolved the issue by switching to constructor().
Now I did a git pull on my laptop to continue work today, and now it's not happy with the constructor call made to the inherited contract, CappedCrowdsale.

Googling has not turned up anything helpful. And troubleshooting on my own has not turned up any positive outcomes. I'm not 100% sure the constructor convention causing this error as it's only deprecated. But perhaps something related around that?

Compilation failed. See above. - leaves me clueless
Edit: I've restarted my computer and now compile doesn't give any warning about the constructor convention. Only the 1 liner error above. Last week this occurred on my desktop. Today is on my laptop.
Edit x2: Narrow down the issue to the laptop. Same code base is working without issue on my desktop. Perhaps something needs updated/reinstalled? Will update when I figure it out. The warnings are separate, nonrelated, to the compile failure.
Compilation failed. See above(I forgot to include that line on the very bottom - just now fixed). Solc versions are the same as it gets pulled from the package.json file in the tooling setup and there are no global instances installed via NPM. – Matt Swezey Jun 7 '18 at 15:14// @devwill fail but// @dev Dummywill work. This also happened with other tags like@titleetc. This issue appears to be unrelated to the warnings. – Ismael♦ Jun 7 '18 at 16:50@devbefore as well. I do agree that the warnings and compile issues are unrelated as well. I've narrowed this down to the laptop; as the same project works without issue on my desktop. i will to try narrow down exactly what is breaking on my laptop and update here if I find the solution. – Matt Swezey Jun 7 '18 at 22:31
