Gulp.js stops compiling LESS when watched after there has been an error in the LESS files

Question

I\'m having a problem with gulp. I run gulp-watch along with gulp-less and gulp-clean. Everything is running perfectly.

Answer 1

I always use gulp-plumber for my error catching. Works really easily and logs the error to the console.

Example:

gulp.task('less', function() {
    return gulp.src(['src/main/webapp/styles/main.less'], {base: 'src/main/webapp/styles/'})
    .pipe(plumber())
    .pipe(less().on('error', gutil.log))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('src/main/webapp/styles/build'))
    .on('error', function(err) {
        gutil.log(err);
        this.emit('end');
    });
});
