gulp inject throwing error after gulp build

This is the error message I am getting after running gulp build on an Angular JS project.

Using gulpfile /home/project/test_ui/gulpfile.js
Starting 'wiredep'...
Wiring the bower dependencies into the html
'wiredep' errored after 49 ms
Error in plugin 'gulp-inject'
Message:
    There is no `read` option. Did you mean to provide it for `gulp.src` perhaps?

Here are the various versions:

node -v
v7.9.0

npm -v
4.2.0

gulp -v
CLI version 1.2.2
Local version 3.9.1

bower -v
1.8.0

What could be the possible problem?
