Description

@dozer75

It seems that during this night the alpha.3 package was released of gulp. But when running typescript compiling using this, i get a stacktrace that states TypeError: file.isSymbolic is not a function

The complete stacktrace for this is:

 at DestroyableTransform.normalize [as _transform] (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\vinyl-fs\lib\dest\prepare.js:31:15) at DestroyableTransform.Transform._read (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_transform.js:182:10) at DestroyableTransform.Transform._write (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_transform.js:170:83) at doWrite (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_writable.js:406:64) at writeOrBuffer (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_writable.js:395:5) at DestroyableTransform.Writable.write (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_writable.js:322:11) at Pumpify.Duplexify._write (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\duplexify\index.js:201:22) at doWrite (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_writable.js:406:64) at writeOrBuffer (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_writable.js:395:5) at Pumpify.Writable.write (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_writable.js:322:11) at DestroyableTransform.ondata (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_readable.js:612:20) at emitOne (events.js:96:13) at DestroyableTransform.emit (events.js:188:7) at addChunk (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_readable.js:284:12) at readableAddChunk (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_readable.js:271:11) at DestroyableTransform.Readable.push (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_readable.js:238:10) at DestroyableTransform.Transform.push (C:\Temp\Project\node_modules\readable-stream\lib\_stream_transform.js:146:32) 

I install gulp using npm with the following configuration in package.json:

"gulp": "github:gulpjs/gulp#4.0"

Please post a sample of your gulpfile (preferably reduced to just the bit that's not working)

var gulp = require("gulp"); var typescript = require("gulp-typescript"); var sourcemaps = require("gulp-sourcemaps"); var typescriptCompile = function (file, done) { const tsProject = typescript.createProject("tsconfig.json"); if (file === null) { file = srcPaths.typescript + "**/*.ts"; } else { console.log(`Compiling ${ file }`); } gulp.src(file) .pipe(sourcemaps.init()) .pipe(tsProject()) .js .pipe(sourcemaps.write(".", { includeContent: true, mapSources: function (sourcePath) { while (sourcePath.startsWith("../")) { sourcePath = sourcePath.replace("../", ""); } return `/${sourcePath}`; } })) .pipe(gulp.dest(destPaths.app)) .on("end", done); }; gulp.task("compile.typescript", function (done) { typescriptCompile(null, done); });
