I\'m trying to use gulp on w7. gruntjs works .. node works ... If i start gulp without gulp file, it runs fine .. saying \'no gulpfile found\'

gulp -v gives: cli versio

Answer 1

Here are steps I used to solve that issue:

1. if your tasks file is gulp.js, rename it to gulpfile.js
2. Install gulp globally > npm install -g gulp
3. Test installation > gulp -v

You are good if you can see the version number of your gulp task runner!

Answer 2

If you're getting a Microsoft JScript runtime error it isn't running in node but rather in Windows Scripting Host. Ensure Node.exe is in your PATH.
