Compiling Gulp to Parent Folder

Question

I know that this question has been asked before but the given answer doesn't seem to working. I've checked the GULP documentation and GitHub Gulp as well. My Gulp refuses to compile to the specificed folder. Here is my project structure

Parent [contains gulpfile.js]
|_src
   |_assets
       |_jade
       |_sass
       |_scripts

Here is my gulpfile.js

var gulp = require('gulp');
var ts = require('gulp-typescript');
var pug = require('gulp-pug');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');

// == PATH STRINGS ========
var paths = {
    typescript: './src/**/*.ts',
    pug: 'src/assets/pug/*.pug',
    sass: 'src/assets/sass/*.scss',
    distScripts: 'src/scripts',
    distPug: '../../src',
    distSass: 'src'
};

// == TYPESCRIPT ========
gulp.task('typescript', function () {
    return gulp.src(paths.typescript)
        .pipe(ts({
            noImplicitAny: true,
            outFile: 'output.js'
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.distTypescript));
});

// == pug ===============
gulp.task('pug', function() {
  gulp.src(paths.pug)
    .pipe(pug({}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('../../src'))
});

// == SASS ==============
gulp.task('sass', function () {
    return gulp.src(paths.sass)
        .pipe(sass().on('error', sass.logError))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.distSass));
});

// == COMPILE SYNCHRONOUSLY
gulp.task('watch', function () {
  gulp.watch(paths.typescript, ['typescript']);
  gulp.watch(paths.pug, ['pug']);
  gulp.watch(paths.sass, ['sass']);
});

I just want to compile my sass and pug files to the src files. Thank you so much for any help or assistance!

Answer 1

I've managed to answer this question myself. Thanks everyone. All I needed to do was specify direct paths instead of using universal selectors

var gulp = require('gulp');
var ts = require('gulp-typescript');
var pug = require('gulp-pug');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');

// == PATH STRINGS ========
var paths = {
    typescript: './src/**/*.ts',
    pug: 'src/assets/pug/*.pug',
    sass: 'src/assets/sass/*.scss',
    distTypescript: 'src/scripts',
    distPug: 'src',
    distSass: 'src'
};

// == TYPESCRIPT ========
gulp.task('typescript', function () {
    return gulp.src(paths.typescript)
        .pipe(ts({
            noImplicitAny: true,
            outFile: 'output.js'
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.distTypescript));
});

// == pug ===============
gulp.task('pug', function() {
  gulp.src(paths.pug)
    .pipe(pug({}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.distPug))
});

// == SASS ==============
gulp.task('sass', function () {
    return gulp.src(paths.sass)
        .pipe(sass().on('error', sass.logError))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.distSass));
});

// == COMPILE SYNCHRONOUSLY
gulp.task('watch', function () {
  gulp.watch(paths.typescript, ['typescript']);
  gulp.watch(paths.pug, ['pug']);
  gulp.watch(paths.sass, ['sass']);
});
