gulp-watch

I am developing a Gulpfile . Can it be made to restart as soon as it changes? I am developing it in CoffeeScript. Can Gulp watch Gulpfile.coffee in order to restart when changes are saved? You can create a task that will gulp.watch for gulpfile.js and simply spawn another gulp child_process . var gulp = require('gulp'), argv = require('yargs').argv, // for args parsing spawn = require('child_process').spawn; gulp.task('log', function() { console.log('CSSs has been changed'); }); gulp.task('watching-task', function() { gulp.watch('*.css', ['log']); }); gulp.task('auto-reload', function() { var

I am scratching my head around but can't seem to figure out whats wrong with the following gulpfile which simply watch and compile less file. This simply won't watch less changes, I have tried all gulp , gulp watch . I have to manually run gulp after each change to compile them. Is there something wrong that causing watch to not work as expected? Gulp Version CLI version 1.4.0 Local version 3.9.1 NPM 4.1.2 Node v7.7.2 var gulp = require('gulp'); var less = require('gulp-less'); // gulp compile paths var paths = { dist: 'assets/dist' }; gulp.task('css', function() { return gulp.src('assets/less

I have problem. Yestrday I had to update the Node.js kernel and now that I change something in the LESS file, there will be no css update. Gulpfile is the same as before the update. Could someone advise me what's wrong with my gulpfile script? The HTML file update is OK. //*********** IMPORTS ***************** var gulp = require('gulp'), browserSync = require('browser-sync'); var postcss = require('gulp-postcss'); var less = require('gulp-less'); var watch = require('gulp-watch'); var livereload = require('gulp-livereload'); var autoprefixer = require('gulp-autoprefixer'); var concat = require

My gulp-watch task has been started normally, and the gulp command didn't exit too, every seems good. However, when I make changes to my files, I can't see the changes in my output files, and there was nothing logged in the command line. It seems like gulp can't detect that my files was changed. But running the watched tasks alone will work. It is strange. My watch task was working perfectly before. But I can't remember what did I do after the last right run. Here is my directory structure (part of it): ├── README.md ├── bower.json ├── config.xml ├── gulpfile.js ├── ionic.project ├── src │ ├──

Everytime I run gulp, I see this message gulp.run() has been deprecated. Use task dependencies or gulp.watch task triggering instead. Example code: var watch = require('gulp-watch'); watch(['public/**/*.js','!public/**/*.min.js'],function(){ gulp.run('compressjs'); gulp.run('bs-reload'); }); How can I avoid using gulp.run() with gulp-watch? You shouldn't use run . Here is an alternative (to address that part of your answer), but not what you need to do: gulp .start('default') .once('task_stop', function(){ //do other stuff. }); If you really must fire an ad hoc task, but can literally use run.

Hi i'm getting this error while running gulp watch. im using vueify in laravel project. why is this happening. it was working fine all these days and this came in today. $ gulp watch [12:56:01] Using gulpfile ~/Documents/web_projects/next-home/gulpfile.js [12:56:01] Starting 'watch'...

I have a gulp task which uses gulp-imagemin to compress images. When I add new files to this directory I'd like for this task to compress them as well. I read that gulp.watch doesn't trigger on new files and that I should try gulp-watch so I used it like so; gulp.task('images', function() { watch({glob: './source/images/*'}, function (files) { return files .pipe(plumber()) .pipe(imagemin({ progressive: true, interlaced: true })) .pipe(gulp.dest('./www')); }); }); This works the same as gulp.watch on the first run, but when I add a new image to the directory nothing happens. If I overwrite an
