Same error for me too.

[nithya2609]

change this "gulp": "github:gulpjs/gulp#4.0", to
"gulp": "git://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#6d71a658c61edb3090221579d8f97dbe086ba2ed"

remove node modules and run npm install again.
this should fix the error

[DurgaMasabattula]

@nithya2609 it worked with your suggestion, but why should we update it in that way

[nithya2609]

earlier my gulp version was pointing to 4.0.0 alpha 3 ..n i had the same problm ..when i changed gulp to alpha 4.0.0 alpha 2 , it worked

[nithya2609]

not sure why it doesnt work with alpha 3

@nithya2609 Worked for me, thank you.

I was using Gulp 4.0 and was getting the same error message about vinyl when trying to send my .js through the reqiurejs.js optimizer r.js:

Received a non-Vinyl object in dest()

    "devDependencies": {
        "babel-core": "^6.26.0",
        "babel-preset-env": "^1.6.1",
        "chalk": "^2.3.0",
        "deeply": "^2.0.3",
        "del": "^3.0.0",
        "gulp": "^4.0.0",
        "gulp-babel": "^7.0.1",
        "gulp-clean-css": "^3.9.2",
        "gulp-concat": "^2.6.1",
        "gulp-filter": "^5.1.0",
        "gulp-html-replace": "^1.6.2",
        "gulp-imagemin": "^4.1.0",

        "gulp-uglify": "^3.0.0",
        "gulplog": "^1.0.0"
    }

Reverting to a previous version of gulp was the only thing that successfully worked for me as well:

"gulp": "git://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#6d71a658c61edb3090221579d8f97dbe086ba2ed"

Thank you @nithya2609, your solution worked for me too.
