Gulp Tasks

• Gulp Tasks

• Install gulp-cli globally

npm install -g gulp-cli

• When you complete the above steps, you will see the following screen.

• Select the task and click the green start button to start the task.
• You will see the output of the task in Terminal's OUTPUT.
• You can selset the task and click the stop button to stop the task.
• Normal tasks will be automatically disconnected after running. But when doing webpack dev server, the task will be finished first, but the OUTPUT will always be connected.
• In MacOS, click the stop button will disconnect OUTPUT.
• But in Windows will not disconnect OUTPUT. In other words, the app is still running in the background.
  • At this moment, you'd better use the command line to run the gulp task.
  • If you use Gulp Tasks to run the webpack dev server related tasks, you can use some Windows commands to kill the process

// open a CMD window

// find the app port, like "8080", the result will show the app's pid
netstat -ano |findstr "port"

// kill the process according to the pid
taskkill /f /t /im "pid"
