When trying to add to gulpfile: browserSync = require('browser-sync').create()

and the launch of any task crashes. if you commit browserSync = require('browser-sync').create() - everything works.

How to fix?

mistake

  C:\Users\userName\.node_modules_global\browser-sync:2 basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')") ^^^^^^^ SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list at createScript (vm.js:80:10) at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:139:10) at Module._compile (module.js:607:28) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:654:10) at Module.load (module.js:556:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:499:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:491:3) at Module.require (module.js:587:17) at require (internal/module.js:11:18) at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\userName\projects\projectName\gulpfile.js:11:19)

gulp file:

  "use strict"; const gulp = require("gulp"), postcss = require('gulp-postcss'), sass = require("gulp-sass"), concat = require("gulp-concat"), debug = require("gulp-debug"), sourcemaps = require("gulp-sourcemaps"), del = require("del"), newer = require("gulp-newer"), browserSync = require('browser-sync').create(); gulp.task("hello", function() { console.log('HELLO'); }); gulp.task("clean", function () { return del("production/**") });

Used by:

Windows-7

gulp Local version 4.0.0-alpha.3 (CLI version 2.0.1)

browser-sync 2.23.6

  • Without .create () works, browser ({server: {baseDir: "app"}, notify: false}); - DiDex
  • does not work. even if you add: const browserSync = require ('browser-sync'); and create tasks using browserSync - error - slavak

Everything is working...

When installing Browser-Sync did not set the flag - save-dev

everything works with the flag
