问题


I'm trying to run the command below but unfortunately I run into errors. 

$ gulp build

In my terminal and I get this assertion error. I've uninstalled node and NPM and reinstalled again using brew - How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X) with these steps. My node version is v10.5.0 and npm version is 6.1.0.

My system is MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2 

assert.js:269
    throw err;

回答1:


Gulp 4.0 has changed the way that tasks should be defined if the task depends on another task to execute. The list parameter has been deprecated.

An example from your gulpfile.js would be:

// Starts a BrowerSync instance
gulp.task('server', ['build'], function(){
  browser.init({server: './_site', port: port});
});

Instead of the list parameter they have introduced gulp.series() and gulp.parallel().

This task should be changed to something like this:

// Starts a BrowerSync instance
gulp.task('server', gulp.series('build', function(){
  browser.init({server: './_site', port: port});
}));

I'm not an expert in this. You can see a more robust example in the gulp documentation for running tasks in series or these following excellent blog posts by Jhey Thompkins and Stefan Baumgartner

https://codeburst.io/switching-to-gulp-4-0-271ae63530c0

https://fettblog.eu/gulp-4-parallel-and-series/




回答2:


Lower your gulp version in package.json file to 3.9.1- 

"gulp": "^3.9.1",



回答3:


Try replacing your last line of gulpfile.js

gulp.task('default', ['server', 'watch']);

with

gulp.task('default', gulp.series('server', 'watch'));



回答4:


https://fettblog.eu/gulp-4-parallel-and-series/

Because gulp.task(name, deps, func) was replaced by gulp.task(name, gulp.{series|parallel}(deps, func)).

You are using the latest version of gulp but older code. Modify the code or downgrade.




回答5:


You don't need to downgrade your gulp from gulp 4. Use gulp.series() to combine multiple tasks. At first install gulp globally with

npm install --global gulp-cli

and then install locally on your working directory with

npm install --save-dev gulp

see details here

Example:

package.json

{
  "name": "gulp-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "browser-sync": "^2.26.3",
    "gulp": "^4.0.0",
    "gulp-sass": "^4.0.2"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "^4.3.1",
    "jquery": "^3.3.1",
    "popper.js": "^1.14.7"
  }
}

gulpfile.js

var gulp = require("gulp");
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var browserSync = require('browser-sync').create();

// Specific Task
function js() {
    return gulp
    .src(['node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js', 'node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js', 'node_modules/popper.js/dist/umd/popper.min.js'])
    .pipe(gulp.dest('src/js'))
    .pipe(browserSync.stream());
}
gulp.task(js);

// Specific Task
function gulpSass() {
    return gulp
    .src(['src/scss/*.scss'])
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('src/css'))
    .pipe(browserSync.stream());
}
gulp.task(gulpSass);

// Run multiple tasks
gulp.task('start', gulp.series(js, gulpSass));

Run gulp start to fire multiple tasks & run gulp js or gulp gulpSass for specific task.

I get the same error when using Gulp. The solution is to switch to Gulp version 3.9.1, both for the local version and the CLI version.

sudo npm install -g gulp@3.9.1

Run in the project's folder

npm install gulp@3.9.1



回答7:


It's not good to keep changing the gulp & npm versions in-order to fix the errors. I was getting several exceptions last days after reinstall my working machine. And wasted tons of minutes to re-install & fixing those.

So, I decided to upgrade all to latest versions: 

npm -v : v12.13.0 
node -v : 6.13.0
gulp -v : CLI version: 2.2.0 Local version: 4.0.2

This error is getting because of the how it has coded in you gulpfile but not the version mismatch. So, Here you have to change 2 things in the gulpfile to aligned with Gulp version 4. Gulp 4 has changed how initiate the task than Version 3.

  1. In version 4, you have to defined the task as a function, before call it as a gulp task by it's string name. In V3:

gulp.task('serve', ['sass'], function() {..});

But in V4 it should be like:

function serve() {
...
}
gulp.task('serve', gulp.series(sass));
  1. As @Arthur has mentioned, you need to change the way of passing arguments to the task function. It was like this in V3:

gulp.task('serve', ['sass'], function() { ... });

But in V4, it should be: 

gulp.task('serve', gulp.series(sass));

Steps:

  1. "gulp": "^3.9.1",
  2. npm install
  3. gulp styles
