I\'ve been using gulp-watch. The current version of gulp-watch relies on the call gulp.parrallel. This call is only available from gulp 4.

However gulp 4 is not avai

Answer 1

My installation was a bit different.

Running

npm install 'gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0' --save-dev

Or

npm install 'gulpjs/gulp#4.0' --save-dev

Gave me an error:

npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME npm ERR! Invalid tag name "gulp#4.0": Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes.

NB I was only having problems installing my local gulp-4 so I took a look at my last package.json installation and saw this:

"gulp": "github:gulpjs/gulp#4.0",

So my move was to install local gulp with

npm install "github:gulpjs/gulp#4.0" --save-dev

and that worked, installing local gulp 4 successfully.
