Hey @aj-dev, I was trying to install SC5 with my Gulp 4.0 setup, I keep getting an error: Error: Received a non-Vinyl object in 'dest()'. I googled and arrived at this https://github.com/gulpjs/vinyl-fs/issues/288. I see mention of gulp-util, is your issue related?

I found a workaround to get Gulp 4 working but it doesn't feel right https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/issues/2808#issuecomment-360360555

Just wanted to get a confirmation from anyone whether SC5 works with Gulp 4? Thanks!

@Shaderpixel SC5 won't work with gulp v4 until gulp-util dependency is removed. I opened this issue a year ago but no work has been done so far
