We're running into an issue where the process that calls gulp-chug may exit prematurely with 0 before the spawned gulp-chug process finishes, which kills the spawned gulp-chug process.

Workaround

Make tasks that calls gulp-chug synchronous, e.g.,

var gulp = require('gulp');
var chug = require('gulp-chug');

gulp.task('default', function(){
  return gulp.src('**/gulpfile.js')
    .pipe(chug()); 
});

i use gulp-chug in our project , it is great. and i can't find other elegant way to solve my problem.(better than gulp-hub )

even it is in the blacklist, it is useful. tks for your work.

I get the following error with gulp-chug in one of my (customer) projects:

Error: No module loader found for ".tmp.1443527063128.js".

The error seems to be related to the file naming of the temp file. Changing it to use _ instead of . as the delimiters fixes the issue.

I tried running my current gulp & gulp-chug file that works with 0.12 on the newly released 4.0.0 and got the following error output:

Gulp since version 3.9 supports gulpfile written in es6 (babel). It would be great if gulp-chug could support babel. Right now I getting syntax error. Update dependency to new version of gulp didn't help.

Is it possible to run the tasks in parallel? I'd love to have a global gulp.watch() that calls watch in each folder, but because the task doesn't return/fire the callback, then the watch just sits on the first file and doesn't advance to the other gulpfiles.

They are a bit annoying to manage.

Sometimes gulp crashes and more and more tmp files get piled up. I currently write clean tasks for them and add them to git/svn ignore so they don't confuse me. But it would be nice if they weren't there at all.

By the way thanks for this plugin. I noticed that the gulp folk blacklisted it, i'm a bit sad about that. Are you still planning on continuing updating this, given the circumstances ?

I'm trying to match all subdirectories of a given directory.

I want to match all .js files inside subdirectories:

/path/to/dir/dir1/*.js
/path/to/dir/dir2/dir3/*.js
/path/to/dir/dir4/*.js

While excluding:

/path/to/dir/

I'm using the following pattern:

/path/to/dir/**/*.js

When I run the gulp task, I get the following error:

Unable to find local gulp. Try running 'npm install gulp' /path/to/dir/.

Shouldn't /path/to/dir/ be excluded by the given pattern? Why is it looking for gulp on a directory that I don't want to be matched?

Thanks in advance!

I've found your module to be just what I need. Please try to keep it healthy.

Running gulp-chug is giving me this message on every line of output (quite noisy)

util.print: Use console.log instead

I've got a project with randomly distributed subbuilds, each with its own gulpfile.js that contains a ci task. I'm trying to consolidate ci to a root command with

gulp.task('ci', function () {
    return gulp.src('./src/**/gulpfile.js', { read : false })
        .pipe(chug({ tasks : ['ci'] }));
});

which yields

[gulp] Error in plugin 'gulp-chug': Error executing gulpfile .../src/template/decode/gulpfile.js:
    at sayErr (.../node_modules/gulp-chug/index.js:43:33)

• Explicitly passing the path yields expected behavior--no errors.
• If I remove {read:false}, chug creates a temporary gulpfile.js rooted at the glob's base (./src/**/gulpfile.js -> ./src/gulpfile.tmp.[guid].js), and then a relative require within the new gulpfile breaks.

For now, I'm explicating all of the gulpfiles, but I'd rather use a glob.

... exits with an error. What's going on with that?
