gulp-cli does not pick up gulpfile.babel.js

[ide]

(Moved from gulpjs/gulp#1098)

The gulp program that comes with the gulp-cli package (0.2.0) doesn't find gulpfile.babel.js. Uninstalling gulp-cli and globally installing gulp fixed the problem so this isn't urgent, but it seems like gulp-cli should work.

I second this.

It's also odd, it will work fine, I'll add a few node packages then it'll stop working. I'll remove and reinstall and it'll work fine. It's very odd to me

I found the issue on my system:

• I had a system version of node installed (via OSX brew), which had a globally installed gulp of an earlier version. It was linked to /usr/local/bin/gulp.
• I use nvm to manage different versions of node and iojs, but although I had gulp installed globally and locally in my projects, the paths for /usr/local/bin were of higher priority than my local paths.

The solution for me was:

1. nvm use system
2. npm uninstall gulp -g
3. nvm use node
4. npm install gulp -g
5. gulp

My setup doesn't have a system version of Node but good to eliminate that as a possible source of bugs.

$ nvm use system
System version of node not found.
$ which gulp
/Users/ide/.nvm/versions/io.js/v2.3.1/bin/gulp

Thanks reinstalling gulp fixed it for me

@dcrockwell thanks for the recommendation, that worked for me.

This should be fixed as of 0.3.0 (just published). Please note that the .es6 extension that was supported in 0.2.0 was removed. I will be rebasing these changes onto the 4.0 branch shortly.

Same problem, this is fixed or not ? D:

Please read your console output before posting. It states that you are using gulp 3.8.11 globally, which is completely the wrong version

@dcrockwell solution worked fine for me to. Thank you!

guys, just curious, why do you ever need gulp.babel.js? you already using babel, so just use the babel's require hook. this is easy:

• require('babel/register') for babel 5.x
• require('babel-core/register') for babel 6.x
