Gulp: Symlinked gulpfile.js works in a wrong directory
Aftermath of https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/704
Gulp executes tasks of a symlinked gulpfile.js in a context of a directory where the original file is.
$ ln -s ~/docs/beta/gulpfile.js gulpfile.js
$ gulp sass
[02:37:01] Working directory changed to ~/docs/beta
[02:37:02] Using gulpfile ~/docs/beta/gulpfile.js
[02:37:02] Starting 'sass'...
[02:37:02] Finished 'sass' after 1.52 ms

Ah, of course. Try npm update again.

For what it's worth, I'm encountering this problem right now and am having to do a bit of hackery to get it to work. In particular, we have this lovely environment that puts Bazel in Docker containers, and I have to manually symlink the node_module directories into some other test directory so that Gulp doesn't panic. :-(
Not sure what the solution is, but wanted to chime in that this is still an issue. Sorry I can't be of more help.
