I try to use this plugin in gulp (gulp-plumber).I studied about this plugin that it gives you error but it watching state not stop.In other words it gives your file error on command line.But it not stop watching . https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-plumber
But when I changed in sass file try to create error on saas file ,then it stop watch then Again i need to give command why ?
here id my gulp file.
var gulp = require('gulp');
//require sass package
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var minifyCss = require('gulp-minify-css');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
// Compile Our Sass
gulp.task('sass', function () {
return gulp.src('scss/*.scss')
.pipe(sass())
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(gulp.dest('css'));
});
// css miifilcation
gulp.task('minify-css',['sass'], function () {
return gulp.src('css/*.css')
.pipe(minifyCss())
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
// js minifiction
gulp.task('compress', function() {
return gulp.src('app/**/*.js')
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('jdist'));
});
//concatination of js files
gulp.task('scripts', function() {
return gulp.src('jdist/**/*.js')
.pipe(concat('all.js'))
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});
// Watch Files For Changes
gulp.task('watch', function () {
gulp.watch('scss/*.scss', ['sass','minify-css']);
});
gulp.task('default', ['sass', 'watch', 'minify-css','scripts']);
these are following steps I did.

Try swaping sass and plubmber in your sass task as it is shown in the example on gulp plumber page. Your task should look like this
// Compile Our Sass
gulp.task('sass', function () {
return gulp.src('scss/*.scss')
.pipe(plumber({
handleError: function (err) {
console.log(err);
this.emit('end');
}
}))
.pipe(sass())
.pipe(gulp.dest('css'));
});
Update
I took out the js tasks for simplicity of my answer. Now you are compiling your sass, minifying it and adding min to name in a single task.
// SASS
gulp.task('sass', function () {
return gulp.src('scss/*.scss')
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(sass({outputStyle: 'compressed'}))
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
// Watch Files For Changes
gulp.task('watch', function () {
gulp.watch('scss/*.scss', ['sass']);
});
gulp.task('default', ['sass', 'watch']);
