Using gulp to run a asset download script - gulp

I have an isolated npm module with assets. I want to add gulp to this. Inside the project aside from my assets i have a bash script that downloads and updates my assets. I have been trying to find a way to create a gulp task that can run this script but i have not yet been able to get it to work. I tried the following and although it ran it did not run the script.
gulp.task('update-json', function(){
gulp.src('assets/update_json.sh');
});

How do I turn my create-react-app project into a single html file with embeded js?

I made a simple create-react-app project as a test assignment for a new job. I'm already finished with the project, but there's a catch:
I must turn the project in as a single html file with embeded js and css.
How do I turn my create-react-app project into a single file?
Edit: Running npm build doesn't solve my issue, as it builds the project, but the result is not a single html file! - it generates an index.html plus a static/ folder to import sources from.
I could hand-paste those I guess, but am looking for a more elegant solution!
Run this command:
npm run build

Semantic UI - Error While Importing Gulp Tasks

I am trying to import Semantic UI's Gulp tasks into my own Gulpfile. I want my parent Gulp file to run Semantic's 'gulp build' command, then have my parent Gulp copy the files Semantic's build command outputs to another folder. Everything was moving along until I hit this error:
Error: Task build-javascript is not configured as a task on gulp. If this is a submodule, you may need to use require('run-sequence').use(gulp).
I have a folder /semantic/ which includes all the tasks and everything. And my gulpfile is setup just like Semantic's docs recommend. http://semantic-ui.com/introduction/advanced-usage.html
var watchUI = require('./semantic/tasks/watch'),
buildUI = require('./semantic/tasks/build')
Has anybody else run into this problem? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
There is an open issue on github. But this instructions helped me:
https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/issues/4374#issuecomment-236729805
Open the file node_modules/semantic-ui/tasks/install.js in your preferred text editor.
On line 26, you should see runSequence = require('run-sequence'),. Please replace it with runSequence = require('run-sequence').use(gulp),
Run in the console cd node_modules/semantic-ui && gulp install.

Gulp 4 watcher is running but does not detect changes

I'm having the following file structure:
/ src
-- app.less
/ gulp
-- index.js
-- gulpfile.js
This file structure is mounted in a vagrant box in /vagrant which means the path to app.less becomes /vagrant/src/app.less. Yes, I've checked this.
gulpfile.js
require('./gulp');
index.js
var paths = {
less: '/vagrant/src/app.less'
};
gulp.task('less', function () {
console.log('less function running');
return gulp.src(paths.less)
.pipe(less());
});
gulp.task('watch:styles', function () {
console.log('watch function running');
gulp.watch(paths.less, gulp.series('less'));
});
gulp.task('watch', gulp.parallel('watch:styles'));
gulp -v returns:
[10:02:05] CLI version 0.4.0
[10:02:05] Local version 4.0.0-alpha.1
gulp watch returns:
[09:45:20] Using gulpfile /vagrant/gulpfile.js
[09:45:20] Starting 'watch'...
[09:45:20] Starting 'watch:styles'...
watch function running
I've been using Gulp 4 for over 2 months without problems with the watcher. Since last week the watcher is not responding to files that are being changed. I've tried several editors, I've tried multiple paths like '/vagrant/**/*.less' and '../src/*.less' and even the absolute path to app.less '/vagrant/src/app.less', none of them worked.
After some research I found several issues on the github repo of Gulp 4 about the watcher. Yet, I can't figure out what the problem is. Maybe I'm overlooking an error in my code or something new in the docs, but I'm trying to solve this since yesterday morning without any luck.
It appears you're using Vagrant. If you have Gulp running on your Vagrant machine instead of on the host it won't detect any changes to files that you make on the host. This is because the events that notify the OS about filesystem changes don't propagate into the VM.
If this is the case, the solution is to simply run Gulp wherever you actually make changes to the files (i.e. if you make the changes on the VM, run it on the VM, if you make changes on the host, run Gulp on the host).
Also maybe make the path relative, instead of tying your implementation to your Vagrant box. i.e. less: './src/app.less'.

Laravel Elixir: Gulp watch fires without any interaction

I have the following set up within the assets/sass folder:
app.scss
- partials
_settings.scss
_main.scss
Now the issue is that when i run gulp watch, it runs all ok as a normal gulp, but then it just repeats the sass process, even when I have not touched anything, have anything in the files etc
It constantly runs the following over and over, sometime constantly or after a few seconds: The below is the loop thats is spat out within the terminal.
[20:49:30] Starting 'sass'...
[20:49:30] Running Sass: resources/assets/sass/app.scss
[20:49:30] gulp-notify: [Laravel Elixir] Sass Compiled!
[20:49:30] Finished 'sass' after 23 ms
Now doing several tests to see whats causing this, if i have DONT have any files with in the partials directory and just have code within the app.scssthen the gulp watchruns and simply waits for changes.
But as soon as I add a file within the sass folder or in the partials folder the gulp watch runs as I would expect, BUT this then never stops running the script...
I am using a simple elixir set up, for now:
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.sass('app.scss', 'public/js/main.css');
});
Any ideas why this is.
Running on a Homestead VM latest
Using latest elixir version
Laravel v.5.1.13
EDIT: Update
I was doing this outside the VM so thought to try to run this through the VM and it seems to be OK and run as expected...
I am running this outside the VM and so when run within the VM its runs as expected. But i do get the Error in plugin 'gulp-notify' not found: notify-senderror, but i can turn this off via adding process.env.DISABLE_NOTIFIER = true; to the top of the gulp file.

Run Gulp Task in Codekit Hook

I'm trying to run a Gulp task as a Codekit Hook after compiling JS files.
I've created a new Hook and put in the following command:
cd /path/to/my/web/project/
gulp default
I just want to run a gulp task everytime Codekit has compiled my JS files. But nothing happens. What i'm doing wrong?
If i run that task in the terminal, everything is fine.
Thanks for any help.
My solution was to make a Shell Script and link directly to it in the Codekit Hook:
E.g.:
./rungulptasks.sh
Inside the "rungulptasks.sh" file I put a direct link to the local gulp bin:
node_modules/.bin/gulp
Now it works. Solved.
P.S Don't forget to make the script executable.
