"Gulp not found" after running `npm install ` in console

[wallyzielinski]

After installing a node package from the terminal ( npm install {package} ), Visual Studio Code fails to find the local installation of gulp, and this error is thrown:
Local gulp not found in C:\... Try running: npm install gulp

Even re-running npm install gulp-cli or npm install gulp-cli -g does not always seem to resolve the issue. I usually have to delete node_modules folder and run a full npm install before the issue resolves. This, unfortunately, doesn't always help in the event the package I'm installing isn't part of the package.json (for instance, if I'm testing a new package for a company boilerplate).

• VSCode Version: 1.28.0
• OS Version: Windows 10 (1803)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run a gulp task from the vscode terminal
2. Install a new package using npm i or npm install
3. Try to run the same gulp task in vscode terminal

Other info, if it helps debug:
I have user settings set to override the default integrated terminal's cwd (current working directory).

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

This is either an issue with your environment (gulp needs to exist on your PATH in order to be found), or your node setup.
