gulp.run is deprecated. How do I compose tasks?

Question

Here is a composed task I don\'t know how to replace it with task dependencies.

...
gulp.task(\'watch\', function () {
 var server = function(){
  gulp.run(\         


        

Answer 1

To run a task before starting to watch, instead of using gulp.run() or gulp.start() just run the gulp command straight up.

So instead of:

var compress = function () {
    return gulp.src('js/vendor/*.js')
        .pipe(concat('vendor.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./build/js/'));
};

Just do:

gulp.src('js/vendor/*.js')
        .pipe(concat('vendor.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./build/js/'));

Or you can wrap that latter code in a "normal" function and call it whenever you want.
