I can't figure out why gulp.series()
is not firing in my callback function.
I'm trying to grab a string from a user input with gulp-prompt
and invoke a build and deployment function with gulp.series()
. My tasks within gulp.series()
don't fire at all.
gulp.task('test', function(){
const prompt = require('gulp-prompt');
return gulp.src('test.js')
.pipe(prompt.prompt({
type: 'checkbox',
name: 'env',
message: 'which environment do you want to deploy to?',
choices: ['qa','prod']
},function(res){
//console.dir(res.env);
var env = res.env;
console.log(env);
console.log('hi');
gulp.series('clean', 'patternlab:build', 'tag-version', deployWeb.bind(this, env), function(done){
done();
});
}));
});
Calling
gulp.series('task1', 'task2')
does not runtask1
andtask2
. All it does is return a new function. Only once you call that function are the tasks actually executed.That means in your case you need to do the following:
The whole
function(done){ done(); }
part that you had in your code doesn't really make much sense and isn't needed forgulp.series()
.Sven Schoenung's answer is correct.
If you don't want to add a new variable, just make it a self-calling JS function like,
