MSC Undefined Error Using Gulp In Visual Studio Code on OSX - gulp

Question

I'm trying to build a C# project using the Visual Studio Code task runner and Gulp on OSX 10.11.4. The documentation gives an example gulpfile for doing this:
var gulp = require("gulp");
var program = "MyApp";
var port = 55555;
gulp.task('default', ['debug']);
gulp.task('build', function() {
return gulp
.src('./**/*.cs')
.pipe(msc(['-fullpaths', '-debug', '-target:exe', '-out:' + program]));
});
gulp.task('debug', ['build'], function(done) {
return mono.debug({ port: port, program: program}, done);
});
When I try to run this code I get an error:
ReferenceError: msc is not defined
The sample code doesn't require any msc module but looking through Gulp and its documentation I don't see any msc module. Also searching npm finds no msc gulp module for compiling C#.
Where would I find this 'msc' module?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that
msc and mono.debug
might be placeholders.
You can use something like
var exec = require('gulp-exec');
gulp.task('build', function () {
return gulp
.src('./**/*.vb')
.pipe(exec('vbnc -optionstrict -warnaserror -debug -target:exe -out:' + program + ' <%= file.path %>'))
.pipe(exec.reporter());
});
