When gulp starts up, it brings up this error: Requiring external module coffee-script/register. I looked around to solve this error, but have not been able to. I made sure coffee-script is local in node_modules and have tried different versions of node to see if that would nail it down.
So this happens before a Gulpfile.coffee is even loaded.
gulp 3.9.1 and npm 2.14.20
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this is not an error. Gulp is just telling you it's using coffee-script/register to pre-compile your build scripts.
See here. No throw or error-related terms in sight, it's just logging it. ( unless of course it actually fails to load the module )
Yeah, not an error. Thanks @citycide for commenting.
Thanks for the clarification this is not an error but a statement. Perhaps the logging text could be changed to be less ambiguous?
@tkellen ^
@contra this is in gulp CLI, not liftoff. Also, it is red when it says "failed" but I think that is proper. The message from the original issue is a success and it is colored the same as the rest of the output. I see nothing to change here.
@phated @contra But what if it just said Loaded required module.. than there is no doubt about its meaning. For gulp newbies and non-natives like myself, it'll be very helpful.
How about:
`External module ${chalk.magenta(name)} loaded.`
chalk.red(`External module ${name} not found.`)
And in non-error messages no color with red in it, green? Neutral?
