Gulp: node 7 support / graceful-fs / gulp 4

Created on 26 Oct 2016 · 17Comments · Source: gulpjs/gulp

Node7 is now officially released. Any plans to release gulp4 soon? Right now gulp fails due to the graceful-fs dependency.

no - just edited my package.json file as follows:

"gulp": "^3.9.1",

and ran npm install - small waring but worked.

same here.
I've tried reinstalling nodejs v7.0.0, different npm versions before realizing it's related to gulp.

Node 7 has been released yesterday

For now: npm install gulpjs/gulp#4.0

@contra tried that, but now getting:

assert.js:85
  throw new assert.AssertionError({
  ^
AssertionError: Task function must be specified

does the syntax for declaring tasks change with 4.0? (i.e. .task('name', ['dependencies'], () => {}))

@neilsoult 4.0 has a bunch of new changes, check out the docs: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/tree/4.0

As for 3.x supporting Node 7, it's really up to the dependency being used (graceful-fs) to make this work. We can't update the dependency on the 3.x branch because it introduced breaking changes, so graceful-fs would have to backport a fix.

@contra ok thanks, looks like the path of least resistance for now is to use node v6.9.1

Yeah, there's nothing we can do about this which is why I re-opened https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/1571

gulp 3.x used gaze which had a graceful-fs 1.x dependency. We've worked with graceful-fs to solve the problems in 2+ but the fix wasn't able to be backported to 1.x.

@dodge107
Did you install graceful-fs separately?

piotr-cz on 15 Nov 2016

no - just edited my package.json file as follows:

"gulp": "^3.9.1",

and ran npm install - small waring but worked.

So i'm guessing one of the submodules has been updated to work with graceful properly?

Martinspire on 17 Nov 2016

Confirmed. It works.

Followed @dodge107 instructions. I also had to delete my /node_modules/ folder before running npm install, and then it finally worked.

Removing the dir node_modules/ and running npm i solves the issue. Thanks @trevorhreed

Confirmed. Removing node_modules and "npm -install" works.
In my case it resolved to [email protected] with [email protected]

Strange that a npm upgrade did NOT work. Didn't investigate more than this but I thought that npm upgrade would give the same result as a clean npm install. But perhaps not.
