Visual Studio Code is not picking up my Gulp Process

[blachawk]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong, but I have the following code within a gulpfile.babel.js file. My Gulp Task extension for Visual Studio code is not recognizing the following...

import gulp from 'gulp';

export const serve = (done) => {
  console.log('living to serve')
  done();
}

const build = gulp.series(serve);

export default build;

What am I doing wrong? I'm assuming I should see serve in my Gulp Task meta box for Visual Studio Code, but nothing shows up, even if I refresh. It just says "no gulp files found"

I'm having the same issue - I am able to run the task through the command line without issue, but when trying to run via extension nothing is being picked up.

TL;DR run npm i -g gulp to install gulp globally on your machine.

This is old now but anyone coming to the repo because of the same issue, ensure you have done the following:

• Install vscode-gulptasks extension in vscode.
• run npm i -g gulp
• Restart VSCode

VSCode should now add a "Gulp Tasks" dropdown to the bottom of your Explorer pane in VSCode.
