Gulp : Prepare dist folder and edit ini file

gulp, javascript, node.js

Solution

I don't understand why, because i am waiting that prepareDelivery task is terminated before

That's not correct. Your `default` task has multiple dependencies (`clean`, `prepareDelivery`, `prepareAppIni`), and all of them start at the same time.

Most likely you want want `prepareAppIni` to depend on `prepareDelivery`. Which, in turn, should depend on `clean` task. Having this implemented, `default` should depend only on `prepareAppIni`:

gulp.task('default', ['prepareAppIni']);

Also, you are missing `return` in `prepareDelivery`, so gulp doesn't know when it finishes. Should be

// Copy ini file to dist folder
gulp.task('prepareDelivery', function () {
  return gulp.src([source + '/ini/app_sample.ini']).pipe(gulp.dest(destination + '/ini/'));
});

Problem

I am trying to create a gulp task responsible to : 1. clean dist folder previouly created 2. Copy some folder inside new dist folder 3. Edit a ini file inside dist folder to update a key ``` var destination = './dist/test/v2'; // Copy ini file to dist folder gulp.task('prepareDelivery', function () { gulp.src([source + '/ini/app_sample.ini']).pipe(gulp.dest(destination + '/ini/')); }); // update version in ini file gulp.task('prepareAppIni', ['prepareDelivery'], function () { var config = ini.parse(fs.readFileSync(destination + '/ini/app_sample.ini', 'utf-8')) config.DATA.version = '1.0' fs.writeFileSync(destination + '/ini/app.ini', ini.stringify(config, { section: 'section' })) }); // default task gulp.task('default', ['clean', 'prepareDelivery', 'prepareAppIni']); ``` I get this error : ``` Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open './dist/test/v2/ini/app_sample.ini' ``` I don't understand why, because i am waiting that prepareDelivery task is terminated before executing prepareAppIni task... Could you help me ?
