GULP Failed with error on VSTS?

While performing build on VSTS Gulp operation fails with an error:

"Gulp failed with error: C:\NPM\Modules\gulp.cmd failed with return code: 1"

I have configured my project on VSTS as you can see in the screenshot attached below along with the log file.

The following is the error log:

The screenshot of the error is:

The contents of my package.json files are as follows:

"devDependencies": {
      "karma": "^0.13.0",
      "karma-jasmine": "^0.3.6",
      "karma-chrome-launcher": "^0.2.0",
      "gulp": "^3.9.0",
      "jasmine-core": "^2.8.0",
      "karma-edge-launcher": "^0.4.2"
    }
Solution

  • The reason is that you don’t install Gulp in the same folder of gulpfile.js. I think package.json file is not in the same folder of gulpfile.js file.

    Since the gulpfile.js file is in the source directory, you can add npm task (working folder: $(build.sourcesdirectory); npm command: install; arguments: gulp)
