STDERR does not get displayed properly on non utf encodings

[nicosantangelo]

When using encodings like cp866 (Cyrillic) if cmd fails writing the cache or running the gulp task the output wont be properly encoded:

This is a problem with Windows using a different encoding for STDERR and STDOUT.

[Sigmanor]

It's weird! I still can catching this bug, sometimes. And sometimes it's working fine. Now I'm trying to understand why it sometimes works and sometimes not

UPD

Well :open_mouth: When I open sublime text with admin permissions, package working almost fine, I get this error: (Translate: Class not registered)
But i think its chrome issue. In the rest all working fine.

[nicosantangelo]

The fact that you get this problem from time to time leads me to believe is a problem with the Windows ENV variable (it happened to me from time to time running Windows this last couple of days). You can take a look here, it could be helpful.

As for the Class not registered, keep me posted, right now I think it might not be related to Sublime Gulp

Lastly, I still have to test it, but I think I finally fixed the encoding issues on b9dcaac

[Sigmanor]

@NicoSantangelo I found out that Class not registered was a chrome issue, this error is not related to sublime text or to your package. And i got some new error, i will write about it later.

[nicosantangelo]

This is up! Last version is v4.5.0, if you're using Package Control you can use the List packages command to check which version of sublime-gulp you have.

This should fix the nonsensical characters so you can see the output. If you're still having this error from time to time we can open a new issue :)

If you want, let me know how it goes

[Sigmanor]

@NicoSantangelo It still working just when I open sublime text with admin permissions. And in one my project i get this error:

sublime-gulp.log:

But from cmd my project builds successfully.

[nicosantangelo]

Could you tell me which gulp version are you running in the project that does not work? ( gulp -v )

[Sigmanor]

3.9.0 version, and in other project where your package works, too 3.9.0 version

[nicosantangelo]

@Sigmanor Sorry for the massive delay, I'm not having a lot of free time lately.

if you're seeing this error in a 3.9.0 gulp project:

It probably means that somewhere in your gulpfile.js you're setting gulp.tasks to a falsy value. Sublime-gulp uses the tasks property found on the gulp object to generate the cache.

For example, to recreate this error on my local gulp project, I've added gulp.tasks = undefined; to the end of my gulpfile.js

If you're not doing this, could you paste your gulpfile here?

And when i deleted comments from my gulpfile i got this error:

"gulp" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[nicosantangelo]

As you said, the problem lies in the last comment, right now the package appends ;module.exports = gulp; to the last line instead of adding a newline before.

I'll correct this in the next package version (thanks a lot for letting me know!), if you don't want to remove the comment at the end you can just add a newline like:

//.pipe(reload({stream: true}));

Now, if you're getting "gulp" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. when running a specific task, it usually means that:

1. You need to install gulp both locally and globally in your project
2. There's a problem with the environment, which can be forced by using exec_args

Does any of those two help you?

[Sigmanor]

@NicoSantangelo
About "gulp" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. when I run the "gulp" command from the console all is working. And when i run the Sublime Text with admin permissions your package works too.

UPD

Now all ok, there really was a problem with the environment. Ty for help!

[nicosantangelo]

Awesome! if you find any more issues please let me know!
