issues with gulp watch

[starchild]

I'm trying really hard to get this gulp thing working, but just can't seem to do it.

I think you'll have a better take up if this initial part of the set up is made a bit clearer.

• when I run 'npm run gulp watch' from the 'my_project/node_modules/codyhouse-framework' path,
  I get a whole bunch of errors, despite having followed the instructions on https://css-tricks.com/gulp-for-beginners/

have I run it from the wrong path maybe?

node --version
v10.15.0

gulp -v
[16:47:04] CLI version 2.0.1
[16:47:04] Local version 4.0.0

Did you run npm install before running npm run gulp watch?

That's the first thing that comes to mind when you say you are getting a lot of errors. That is because you need to "install" the packages before you can use them, one of those packages being "gulp".

yes i did:

sudo npm install gulp -g
npm install gulp-sass --save-dev
npm install
npm run gulp watch

Can you confirm if I have missed anything?
Can you also please confirm what path these should be run from?

Thanks!

First off you don't need

sudo npm install gulp -g
npm install gulp-sass --save-dev

These are both already included in the package.json with this project and will install during npm install. The following is what I ran to get this working.

cd <path_to_project>/codyhouse-framework
npm install
npm run gulp watch

That's it, if you have further issue please post your errors.

yes, ok great - I;ve worked this out now.... and it seems to be working, but now generating the following error, which has to do with what I followed in the demo youtube video for the _table.scss

[17:08:20] Starting 'sass'...
Error in plugin "sass"
Message:
main/assets/css/_components.scss
Error: File to import not found or unreadable: table.
on line 2 of main/assets/css/_components.scss
from line 2 of main/assets/css/style.scss

@import 'table';
^

[17:08:20] Finished 'sass' after 15 ms

** line 2 of that file is as follows:
@import 'table';

edit: i fixed it! . my _components.scss had:

@import 'table';

instead of:

@import 'components/table';

Thank you for your help :)
