Gulp run alternative

Question

Everytime I run gulp, I see this message gulp.run() has been deprecated. Use task dependencies or gulp.watch task triggering instead.

Example code:

Answer 1

gulp.run() was deprecated because people were using it as a crutch. You are using it as a crutch!

I'm not sure why you're using gulp-watch, the built in gulp.watch would be far more appropriate for what you're using it for. Have a look at the documentation for .watch: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/API.md#gulpwatchglob--opts-tasks-or-gulpwatchglob--opts-cb

Here's what you should have written. Please understand why you're using it instead of just copying it:

gulp.watch(['public/**/*.js','!public/**/*.min.js'], ['compressjs', 'bs-reload'])
