i am stuck in a kind of a trivial issue and can not get a hang of it.
here is the scenario:
I am using Gulp Task to convert my html
templates to javascript
using gulp-html2js
My environment is Node v6.9.1, gulp 3.9.1, Windows 7
here is the gulpfile.js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var html2js = require('gulp-html2js');
var sourceDir = "D:\Programs_Insalled\nodejs\nodeapps\myApp"
gulp.task('templates', function() {
return gulp.src( 'D:\Programs_Insalled\nodejs\nodeapps\myApp\templates\*.html').
pipe(html2js({outputModuleName: 'templates'})).
pipe(concat('templates.js')).
pipe(gulp.dest('D:\Programs_Insalled\nodejs\nodeapps\myApp\bin'));
});
when i run the task, it completes, in a few m-sec but templates.js
is not generated in bin
directory
D:\Programs_Insalled\nodejs\nodeapps\myApp>gulp templates
[15:28:45] Using gulpfile D:\Programs_Insalled\nodejs\nodeapps\myApp\gulpfile.js
[15:28:45] Starting 'templates'...
[15:28:45] Finished 'templates' after 19 ms
I have tried below suggestions in similar items listed on GitHub and stackoverflow but have not been successful,

Can someone help out to find my mistake.
Thanks.

So, i have finally worked out the solution, Alhamdolilah
Issue was not with gulp task
, or html2js
, real issue was with gulp-concat
and i have realized that it is not needed as output is already concatenated by html2js
here is improved code:
gulp.task('templates', function () {
gulp.src('templates/*.html')
.pipe(html2js('templates.js', {
outputModuleName: 'templates',
name: 'templates'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('bin/'));
});
