Answer 1

In Gulp 3.x you didn't need to signal completion. But from Gulp 4.x you need to do that.

Gulp automatically passes a callback function to your task as its first argument. Simple way in your case would be calling the callback.

gulp.task('default', function(done) {
  console.log("Started");
  done();
});
