gulp-file's Issues

License

Hello, nice code you have. Can you please tell me what version of BSD License your project has?

pipe hang

I have tried using this module like you described, but pipe never end,
after adding stream.end() on line 27 everything worked fine https://github.com/alexmingoia/gulp-file/blob/master/lib/file.js#L27

Am I missing something ?

Proposal: Create CHANGELOG.md

Hey there!

Would you consider creating a CHANGELOG.md (and update it at releases), so it is easier to look through the changes between versions?
It would make deciding whether to update the package a lot easier :)

Thanks a lot!

Task Won't Finish

I have this simple task which never finishes:

gulp.task('envJS', [], function () {
    var env = {
        build: {
            dev: dev
        }
    };

    var envJS = 'var env = JSON.parse(\''+JSON.stringify(env)+'\');';

    return file('env.js', envJS)
        .pipe(gulp.dest('temp'));
});

I get the start log:

[01:55:32] Starting 'envJS'...

but no finish and I see the main task getting done:

[Finished in 5.4s]

but I don't see the task which is depending on "envJS" start.

FIAL: env.js is unexpected

I am probably missing something simple. It is adding the string into the file via gulp and the stream though I always get the following output on both win and linux:

[10:33:15] ✗ FAIL: env.js is unexpected

My gulpfile looks like this:

gulp.task('assembleAppJS', ['bower'], function (cb) {

    var envJS = 'var envConfig = JSON.parse(\''+JSON.stringify(envConfig)+'\');';

    pump([
        gulp.src(src, {base: "."}),
        file('env.js', envJS),
        expect(src),
        concat('app.js'),
        gulp.dest(destDir)
    ], cb);
});

Allow setting of the "cwd" and "base" properties of the file.

For some gulp plugins, having these properties of a File set properly is important - in particular when combining this plugin with the standard glob function.

Happy to implement and pull request!

Replace deprecated dependency gulp-util

gulp-util has been deprecated recently. Continuing to use this dependency may prevent the use of your library with the latest release of Gulp 4 so it is important to replace gulp-util.

The README.md lists alternatives for all the components so a simple replacement should be enough.

Your package is one of the most popular packages still relying on gulp-util, it would be good to publish a fixed version to npm as soon as possible.

See:

• gulpjs/gulp-util#143

Plugin does not create files

This plugin does not create files on Windows, works fine on OSX though.

A fix would be nice.
