Gulp - require gulpfile from node.js and pass task data

Question

I'm trying to run gulpfile from another node.js file

const gulp = require('gulp');
require('coffee-script/register');
require('../gulpfile');

and execute it like:

node ./bin/runGulp.js serve --foo bar

Unfortunately it doesn't start this task.

Answer 1

You should run gulp with gulp command instead of node .

Try

gulp --gulpfile bin/rungGulp.js server --foo bar
