Minimist not finding arguments - gulp

I am trying to use minimist with gulp like this...
var minimist = require('minimist'),
...
knownOptions = {
string: ['env'],
boolean: ['watch'],
default: {
env: process.env.NODE_ENV || '',
watch: false
}
},
options = minimist(process.argv.slice(2), knownOptions),
install = require("gulp-install");
console.log("The options are "+process.argv.slice(2));
console.log("The watch is "+options.watch);
but when I run gulp clean -watch true I still see...
The options are clean,-watch,true
The watch is false
Why is it still false?
UPDATE
this works gulp clean --watch true but can't I do it with 1 slash instead of 2?

I believe (and tested) that since you are invoking the gulp cli, the flags are parsed from gulp itself which stops the execution and prompts you to the "Usage" cli manual.
Just for the record, all of the following will evaluate watch=true:
gulp clean --watch true
gulp clean --watch
gulp clean --watch=true

composer in a gulp build and deployment

How do you get composer to install dependencies correctly whenusing a gulp build?
My build process set up that outputs to a set location, either ../sites/www/public_html or ../sites/dev/public_html dependent on if an environment argument is passed to a gulp task. These locations essentially mirror my remote host.
I'm wanting to automate composer installs, updates and optimisation to output the correct vendor files in either ../sites/www/vendor or ../sites/dev/vendor whenever the build is initially run or to just optimise based on any watched php files being changed.
My build folder has the following structure:
source/
bower.json
composer.json
composer.lock
gulpfile.json
package.json
My example composer.json has the following:
{
"name": "mycomposer/mycomposer",
"version": "1.0.0",
"autoload": {
"psr-4" : {
"mycomposer\\": "public_html/app/mycomposer"
}
},
"require": {
"rollbar/rollbar": "^1.3",
"vlucas/phpdotenv": "^2.4.0"
}
}
I have tried a gulp-compose and task to install the composer libraries and to run dumpautoload for local first party libraries
gulp.task('composer', function() {
var dest = argv.live ? 'www' : 'devsite',
env = '../sites/' + dest + '/public_html';
$.composer('config vendor-dir ' + env.replace('public_html', 'vendor') );
$.composer({
"no-ansi": true,
"no-dev": true,
"no-interaction": true,
"no-progress": true,
"no-scripts": true,
"optimize-autoloader": true
});
$.composer('dumpautoload ', {
optimize: true
});
});
When the task is complete I'm finding is that the $baseDir variable references the build directory
Expected
$vendorDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
$baseDir = dirname($vendorDir);
Output
$vendorDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
$baseDir = dirname(dirname(dirname($vendorDir))).'/mybuild';
Is this something I can achieve, or should I really be running composer separately from my build process?
Thanks
I had a similar problem.
I use gulp-composer package.
gulpfile.js
const composer = require('gulp-composer');
gulp.task('composer-deployed', async function() {
let opts = {
"working-dir": 'my-path-to-composer.json',
"self-install": true, // false for my case
optimize: true,
"classmap-authoritative": true
};
composer("dumpautoload", opts);
});
In my case, I use composer installed globaly but you can choose the bin path with bin: 'path-to-composer.phar' in opts{}.

How to Run Gulp Task on Netlify

Hi i'm trying to run some gulp task on netlify for building Hugo web.
I wonder how to run serial gulp task on netlify,
by the way this is my gulpfile.js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var removeEmptyLines = require('gulp-remove-empty-lines');
var prettify = require('gulp-html-prettify');
var rm = require( 'gulp-rm' );
var minifyInline = require('gulp-minify-inline');
gulp.task('tojson', function () {
gulp.src('public/**/*.html')
.pipe(removeEmptyLines())
.pipe(gulp.dest('public/./'));
});
gulp.task('htmlClean', function () {
gulp.src('public/**/*.html')
.pipe(removeEmptyLines({
removeComments: true
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('public/./'));
});
gulp.task('templates', function() {
gulp.src('public/**/*.html')
.pipe(prettify({indent_char: ' ', indent_size: 2}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('public/./'))
});
gulp.task('minify-inline', function() {
gulp.src('public/**/*.html')
.pipe(minifyInline())
.pipe(gulp.dest('public/./'))
});
where should i put the command to run all my gulps task in Netlify?
There are two places to setup your build commands in Netlify.
Admin Option
Put your commands in the online admin under the Settings section of your site and go to Build & Deploy (Deploy settings) and change the Build command:
Netlify Config file (netlify.toml) Option
Edit/add a netlify.toml file to the root of your repository and put your build commands into the context you want to target.
netlify.toml
# global context
[build]
publish = "public"
command = "gulp build"
# build a preview (optional)
[context.deploy-preview]
command = "gulp build-preview"
# build a branch with debug (optional)
[context.branch-deploy]
command = "gulp build-debug"
NOTE:
The commands can be any valid command string. Serializing gulp commands would work fine if you do not want to create a gulp sequence to run them. In example, gulp htmlClean && hugo && gulp tojson would be a valid command.
Commands in the netlify.toml will overwrite the site admin command.
You can string your tasks together like this:
add another plugin with NPM:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/run-sequence
var runSequence = require('run-sequence');
gulp.task('default', function (callback) {
runSequence(['tojson', 'htmlClean', 'templates', 'minify-inline'],
callback
)
})
Then run $ gulp
There's a section on run-sequence on this page that will help:

Compass not finishing with gulp

When I run gulp, the 'styles' task starts running and sits forever, never finishing and not throwing any error. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall everything I can think of, and nothing seems to make a difference.
This is the function that is not finishing:
gulp.task('styles', function buildStyles() {
return gulp
.src(stylesGulpPaths)
// Copy scss files to build/scss for compass.
.pipe(gulp.dest('build/scss'))
// But only compile main.scss, which imports the rest.
.pipe(filter('**/main.scss'))
.pipe(compass({
css: 'build/css',
http_path: '/',
// image: 'build/images',
require: ['compass/import-once/activate', 'sass-globbing'],
sass: 'build/scss',
}))
.on('error', function (err) { console.error(err.message); })
// 'Concatenate' our one file so we write it to
// build/css/main.css
.pipe(concat('main.css'))
.pipe(gulpif(args.production, minifycss()))
.pipe(gulp.dest('build/css'));
});
var stylesGulpPaths = [
'app/**/*.scss',
'!app/vendor/**/*.scss',
];
Version:
gulp -v => 3.9.1
compass -v => 1.1.0.alpha.3 (Polaris)
node -v => 5.6.0
In my console it gets to the Starting 'styles'... line and just stays there forever.
I am pointing the correct ruby version (2.1.2).
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Fixed it!
There were conflicting compass versions. I just had to uninstall compass, compass-rails, and sass-rails and reinstall compass.

gulp and karma, file karma.conf.js does not exist

I have a basic AngularJS app and want to have all my terminal command run with gulp tasks eg $ gulp dev for the development server and $ gulp unitTest for testing etc.
I have installed Gulp as per the Docs using $ npm install --save-dev gulp with my gulpfile.js in the root of the project file. I have also done the same for karma's install and config file.
It is worth stating now that I want all the npm installs tagged with --save for easily move the project around the office and servers.
When it comes to adding the task to Gulp I have to us a relative (to the karma module) path for the configFile option to find the config but then It does not find the tests.
the following gulpfile.js produces the error ERROR [config]: File karma.conf.js does not exist!
var gulp = require('gulp'),
// ....
karma = require('karma').Server;
gulp.task('test', function(done) {
var karmaServerOptions = {
configFile: 'karma.conf.js', // works if relative path from ./node_modules/karma/lib/config.js
singleRun: true
};
karma.start(
karmaServerOptions,
function(exitStatus) {
done(exitStatus ? 'There are failing tests' : undefined);
}
);
});
karma.conf.js:
// Karma configuration
// Generated on Thu Aug 06 2015 13:38:12 GMT+0100 (BST)
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
// base path that will be used to resolve all patterns (eg. files, exclude)
basePath: './',
// frameworks to use
// available frameworks: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-adapter
frameworks: ['jasmine'],
// list of files / patterns to load in the browser
files: [
// '**/*js',

autoWatch: true,
// start these browsers
// available browser launchers: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-launcher
browsers: ['Chrome'],
// Continuous Integration mode
// if true, Karma captures browsers, runs the tests and exits
singleRun: false
})
}
note: The files array is a bit of a mess as it still has some, but not all, of my experiments in it.
See gulp task can't find karma.conf.js for an explantation about __dirname.
Or use:
var Server = require('karma').Server
gulp.task('test', function (done) {
new Server({
configFile: require('path').resolve('karma.conf.js'),
singleRun: true
}, done).start();
});

No tests executed with grunt-qunit-junit

I am following this guide to generate junit output from my js tests:
https://github.com/sbrandwoo/grunt-qunit-junit
I have installed grunt-qunit-junit into my local test project:
npm install grunt-contrib-qunit --save-dev
And this is my Gruntfile.js:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
"use:strict";
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
qunit_junit: {
options: {
},
all: ["all_tests.html"]
},
})
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-qunit-junit');
};
where all_tests.html is located in the same dir and lists all my *test.js files. But when I run:
user#ubuntu:~/Test$ grunt qunit_junit
Running "qunit_junit" task
>> XML reports will be written to _build/test-reports
Done, without errors.
Why are the tests not executed (the folder _build/test-reports is not created)?
The README states that you should execute both the qunit_junit and qunit tasks: http://github.com/sbrandwoo/grunt-qunit-junit#usage-examples
For example: grunt.registerTask('test', ['qunit_junit', 'qunit']);
