How can I run gulp task as a root user while using sublime-gulp plugin?

nicosantangelo commented 9 years ago

Hum, as of right now, you can't.

To my knowledge, gulp isn't really intended to be used as root, do you really need to run it like that?

jimbatamang commented 9 years ago

May be if it's my OS/Machine issue or not but when I run gulp tasks (which includes imagemin, sourcemap) without super user, it can't replace the old files.

I tried a bit and couldn't run a sudo command from Sublime. I'll keep trying and let you know either way

I tried running the task as an admin from inside Sublime and it just couldn't be done. For now, it seems like a limitation of the editor. If I can find a workaround for this I'll reopen the issue, sorry.
