Node under cygwin crashes on lots of files being watched about gulp-watch HOT 37 CLOSED

Can you show your gulpfile?

from gulp-watch.

yup sure:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var gutil = require('gulp-util');
var watch = require('gulp-watch');
var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var http = require('http');
var path = require('path');
var lr = require('tiny-lr');
var connect = require('connect');
var livereload = require('gulp-livereload');
var server = lr();

gulp.task('webserver', function() {
var app, base, directory, hostname, port;
port = 3000;
hostname = null;
base = path.resolve('.');
directory = path.resolve('.');
app = connect().use(connect"static").use(connect.directory(directory));
return http.createServer(app).listen(port, hostname);
});

gulp.task('livereload', function() {
return server.listen(35729, function(err) {
if (err != null) {
return console.log(err);
}
});
});

gulp.task('sass', function () {
gulp.src('scss/**', { read: false })
.pipe(watch())
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(sass())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./css/'));
});

gulp.task('default', function() {
gulp.run('webserver', 'livereload', 'sass');
});

from gulp-watch.

Instead of

gulp.src('scss/**', { read: false })
  .pipe(watch())

try

watch({ glob: 'sass/**' })

from gulp-watch.

This time, it didn't go through the files.

$ gulp

Edit: It went through everything now. but still closes down right after I save. Gives me the same error like above.

from gulp-watch.

Weird. Can you show your package.json and node.js version?

from gulp-watch.

Alright

$ node -v
v0.10.24

and my package.json

{
"name": "BuddyTalk",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "An app...",
"devDependencies": {
"gulp-util": "~2.2.12",
"gulp": "~3.4.0",
"connect": "~2.12.0",
"gulp-watch": "~0.5.0",
"gulp-plumber": "~0.5.6",
"gulp-sass": "~0.5.2",
"gulp-livereload": "~0.2.0",
"tiny-lr": "0.0.5"
}
}

from gulp-watch.

Everything seems right.

The stacktrace seems to point to https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/bin/gulp.js#L14
which according to blame, @floatdrop made this PR.

Unsure how to replicate this.

from gulp-watch.

Yeah that's what I found from the beginning.

So I tried watching a couple of files (4) at first and it worked perfectly, but it seems that watching lots (in my case 45) of files trigger that error.

from gulp-watch.

Does it error if you removed these streams?

.pipe(sass())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./css/'));

from gulp-watch.

No, no errors at all.

from gulp-watch.

Really... what if you add .pipe(sass()) but do not add .pipe(gulp.dest('./css/'));?

from gulp-watch.

This time, running into the error. Didn't even scan through the files. Vice-versa not working as it simply copies the all the .scss files into mt dest folder..

Same error on line 14

from gulp-watch.

Could you comment that line to see, would it work without it?

from gulp-watch.

Also you may want to read this article and give away idea of running watching on Windows. If you are really want to know whats happening, you could follow this debugging steps and show us what you've got.

I'm pretty sure, this is related to node itself, not to gulp-watch or gulp.

from gulp-watch.

Alright, will check it out. Will get back to you. Also which line?

.pipe(sass()) or the other one?

Thanks

from gulp-watch.

This one: /cygdrive/c/Users/Mark/AppData/Roaming/npm/gulp: line 14

from gulp-watch.

It crashes once I comment out that line..

#!/bin/sh
basedir=`dirname "$0"`

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
else 
  node  "$basedir/node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
fi                   
exit $ret

This is the sh located in

/cygdrive/c/Users/Mark/AppData/Roaming/npm/gulp: line 14

from gulp-watch.

you commented out this in gulp.js? (https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/bin/gulp.js#L14)

// ...
if (argv.completion) {
  return completion(argv.completion);
}
// ...

from gulp-watch.

Yes it still crashes.

from gulp-watch.

What about commenting out this? var completion = require('../lib/completion');

from gulp-watch.

Is there a stacktrace?

Same crashes as well.

from gulp-watch.

I tried stacktracing with the link provided by floatdrop, but it wont work. I can't gdb (not an executable file)...

from gulp-watch.

I meant that if there was any output. Have you tried commenting out var completion = require('../lib/completion');?

from gulp-watch.

Ah sorry, yes I commented out that line. Still bumps into the same error and the same line. But no more details of the error other than what I showed in the beginning. The weird thing is, I tried today just watching 4 files and it worked out perfectly, but when this number increases in my case 45 it suddenly crashes...

from gulp-watch.

I know that in grunt we could --stack, cant we do it here also for gulp?

from gulp-watch.

What if you install gaze (which gulp-if uses internally): npm install gaze

Then run the following js file in node:

var Gaze = require('gaze').Gaze;
var gaze = new Gaze('sass/**');
// Files have all started watching
gaze.on('ready', function(watcher) {
    console.log('ready');
});
// A file has been added/changed/deleted has occurred
gaze.on('all', function(event, filepath) {
    console.log(event, filepath);
});

It should watch 45 files. Then attempt to change one file.

from gulp-watch.

I'm unsure if gulp has --stack option. (probably unlikely)

from gulp-watch.

Yup, everything is being watched (all 45 files), and also every changes that are done. It responds to it directly.

from gulp-watch.

That is strange. I cannot spend much time, because of my work, but it would be great if you test something for me: Could you replace watch({ glob: 'sass/**' }) with watch({ glob: 'sass/**', emitOnGlob: false, passThrough: false }) in gulpfile?

from gulp-watch.

I'm considering the possibility that gulp-sass might be the culprit. I haven't used it myself yet, but @floatdrop would would have more say on this since he has used it with gulp-watch.

I'm unsure what your gulpfile looks like at the moment.

from gulp-watch.

I'm pretty sure, this is cygwin playing with you, @marco3211. Easiest way out - use virtual machine to develop under Windows.

from gulp-watch.

Yup no problem, I'll test it out, will let you know what's the outcome. I'll also start looking at virtualbox and get up and running with probably Ubuntu (or any other suggestions), if it still persists.

from gulp-watch.

@floatdrop no its not working. Yes you're right the error is probably something related to cygwin. Not sure what it is exactly though. I'll end up running my workspace on a virtual machine like you suggested.

Before closing the issue, I want to thank you and @dashed for the help and patience.

from gulp-watch.

Adjusted title to be more descriptive of what going on.

from gulp-watch.

到底怎么回事哟

from gulp-watch.

I had the same issue and was syntax incorrect.

from gulp-watch.

You can tell me how to solve this problem?
