Gulp 4 - Tasks not finished - Gulpfile.js Browsersync

Question

I'm a bit stuck with changing my old Gulp 3 Gulpfile to work in Gulp 4.

I have got to a point where it all seems to work except that the default and serve tasks are not marked as finished in powershell.

How can I unblock the code and allow them to finish correctly please?

 var gulp = require('gulp'); var browserSync = require('browser-sync').create(); var sass = require('gulp-sass'); // Compile sass into CSS & auto-inject into browsers gulp.task('sass', function() { return gulp.src(['node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss', 'src/scss/*.scss']) .pipe(sass()) .pipe(gulp.dest("src/css")) .pipe(browserSync.stream()); }); // Move the javascript files into our /src/js folder gulp.task('js', function() { return gulp.src(['node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js', 'node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js', 'node_modules/popper.js/dist/umd/popper.min.js']) .pipe(gulp.dest("src/js")) .pipe(browserSync.stream()); }); // Static Server + watching scss/html files gulp.task('serve', gulp.series('sass', function() { browserSync.init({ server: "./src" }); gulp.watch(['node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss', 'src/scss/*.scss'], gulp.series('sass')); gulp.watch("src/*.html").on('change', browserSync.reload); })); gulp.task('default', gulp.parallel('js', 'serve'));

The second task in your serve series doesn't return anything, gulp doesn't understand that. A task can return a stream or a promise - or it must call the callback parameter to signal completion, like so:

gulp.task('serve', gulp.series('sass', function(cb) {
    // Your js task code here
    cb()
}))
