使用Gulp时无法识别的功能

Question

I just switched from codekit (a program that minifies / concats / renders sass and js files) to the Gulp build system. I have created a gulpfile and it seems that everything is concatenating and uglifying just fine, but when i try to use a function, like "validate()" for instance, it doesn't work. But that function is clearly defined towards the top of the minified document and called at the very end of the document. Any ideas why all the functions in the top of the file are not working? Headroom(), equalHeights(), validate(), none of those are working.

My gulpfile.js

    var gulp = require('gulp');
var order = require("gulp-order");
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var refresh = require('gulp-livereload');
var lr = require('tiny-lr');
var server = lr();
var jshint = require('gulp-jshint');
var minifyCSS = require('gulp-minify-css');
var embedlr = require('gulp-embedlr');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');

gulp.task('scripts', function() {
        gulp.src([
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/*.js",
          "public/assets/js/partials/*.js"
        ])
        .pipe(order([
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/jquery.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/modernizr.min.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/bootstrap.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/equalheights.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/headroom.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/jquery.headroom.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/jquery.maskedinput.min.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/jquery.validate.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/plupload.full.min.js",
          "public/assets/js/frameworks/wow.js",
          "public/assets/js/partials/*.js"
        ], { base: './' }))
        .pipe(jshint.reporter('default'))
        .pipe(concat('app.js'))
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/assets/dist'))
        .pipe(refresh(server))
})

gulp.task('styles', function() {
    gulp.src(['public/assets/scss/**/*.scss'])
        .pipe(sass())
        .pipe(minifyCSS())
        .pipe(concat('app.css'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('public/assets/dist'))
        .pipe(refresh(server))
})

gulp.task('lr-server', function() {
    server.listen(35729, function(err) {
        if(err) return console.log(err);
    });
})


gulp.task('default', function() {
    gulp.run('lr-server', 'scripts', 'styles');

    gulp.watch('public/assets/js/**/*.js', function(event) {
        gulp.run('scripts');
    })

    gulp.watch('public/assets/scss/**/*.scss', function(event) {
        gulp.run('styles');
    })
})

My minified file is too long to post, but the validate() function is defined as follows and its towards the top of the file:

My function where I USE validate():

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Validate the first registration form
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/
$("#register-step-one").validate({
    errorClass:'error',
    validClass:'success',
    errorElement:'span',
  onkeyup: false,
  rules: {
    first_name: { required: true },
    last_name: { required: true },
    email: { required: true, email: true },
    phone: { required: true },
    company: { required: true },
  },
  submitHandler: function(form) {
      form.submit();
  },
});

Answer 1

Just a long shot, but try removing the unnecessary commas after the lines:

company: { required: true },

and

submitHandler: function(form) {
  form.submit();
},

I know some linters will complain about those.
