I am using Browserify within gulp. I am trying to compile down my tests to a single file as well. But unlike my main app, which I have working just fine, I am having trouble
Here's an alternate recipe that fits more with the gulp paradigm using gulp.src()
var gulp = require('gulp');
var browserify = require('browserify');
var transform = require('vinyl-transform');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
gulp.task('browserify', function () {
// use `vinyl-transform` to wrap around the regular ReadableStream returned by b.bundle();
// so that we can use it down a vinyl pipeline as a vinyl file object.
// `vinyl-transform` takes care of creating both streaming and buffered vinyl file objects.
var browserified = transform(function(filename) {
var b = browserify(filename, {
debug: true,
extensions: ['.coffee']
});
// you can now further configure/manipulate your bundle
// you can perform transforms, for e.g.: 'coffeeify'
// b.transform('coffeeify');
// or even use browserify plugins, for e.g. 'minifyiy'
// b.plugins('minifyify');
// consult browserify documentation at: https://github.com/substack/node-browserify#methods for more available APIs
return b.bundle();
});
return gulp.src(['./app/js/**/*Spec.coffee'])
.pipe(browserified)/
.pipe(concat('spec.js'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./specs'));
});
gulp.task('default', ['browserify']);
