Gulp server doesn't work

I'm using Gulp and I've installed gulp-livereload and gulp-connect to set up a development server. Here's my gulpfile.js:

"use strict";
const gulp = require('gulp');
const livereload = require('gulp-livereload');
const connect = require('gulp-connect');

gulp.task('connect', () => {
  connect.server({
    root: 'app',
    livereload: true
  });
});

When I run gulp connect in my shell, the server does start on localhost:8080, but when I try to navigate to it, it returns me a 404 error. I'm working on Win10 and use Microsoft Edge. What have I done wrong?

Solution

  • There is nothing wrong with that gulp file with the assumption that you have an index.html file at app/index.html
