Error: Task requires a name at Gulp.Orchestrator.add

问题

I am building a Node Web App and testing it locally on Windows 10. At some point since my last successful run, this node module orchestrator seems to have been installed, presumably as some dependency. Now I am getting this error. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

C:\Users\George\Source\Repos\MakeSensePortal>gulp
[23:02:53] Requiring external module babel-register
C:\Users\George\Source\Repos\MakeSensePortal\node_modules\orchestrator\index.js:37
                        throw new Error('Task requires a name');
                        ^

Error: Task requires a name

Alternatively, does it matter if I remove it? - Yes, I then get an error saying that Orchestrator cannot be found, and it seems to be referenced in my babel-register...

Update:

I am not sure if it is linked, but whenever I try to run npm update etc. I get peer dependency issues about reflect-metadata, yet if I try to instal it - see below:

C:\Users\George\Source\Repos\MakeSensePortal>npm i reflect-metadata
MakeSensePortal@0.0.1 C:\Users\George\Source\Repos\MakeSensePortal
+-- passport@0.3.2
`-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY reflect-metadata@0.1.3

回答1:

A comma was missing just after the task name in my case (same case as wassname) :

gulp.task('name' ['...']);

Correct version :

gulp.task('name', ['...']);
