It seems that release 5.1.0 in npm registry lack index.js

[xiechao06]

Since there's no "index.js"

const connect = require('gulp-connect');

complains module 'gulp-connect' can't be found

[xiechao06]

@johnnynode thanks for your response, instead I retreat to use version 5.0.0.
You provide a workaround, but I think this is still a problem. eg. if I could just install gulp-connect@5.0.0 and get everything done, why in this same major version (5.1.0), I need to do this extra step in script or something?

This is how I fix for our project:

• Add "coffee-script": "^1.12.7" to devDependencies
• Define "build-gulp-connect" task:

"scripts": {
    "start": "node index.js",
    "build": "gulp build",
    "build-gulp-connect": "coffee --compile --output node_modules/gulp-connect/ node_modules/gulp-connect/src/",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },

• Add additional step before your automation build (if necessary)

pls fix it

[johnnynode]

@xiechao06 Yeah, just a workaround. The steps here are just for test and development, not for production. Thanks for your feedback.

The NPM-Package is broken - as @xiechao06 stated. The NPM-Package is currently unusable and the version 5.1.0 should be revoked from NPM. A new version (e.g. 5.1.1) containing compiled index.js should be provided quickly.

Yeah my Jenkins server is failing my builds because of the "Cannot find module 'gulp-connect'" error.

+1

[c-rick]

+1， I mistaken that my NPM is bad

[geryit]

had to revert to 4.2 : "gulp-connect": "^4.2.0",

[adam-stokes]

We are pinned at 5.0.0 but the same issue still occurs

Please update to gulp-connect@5.2.0
