I'm using gulp-watch plugin and would like to copy newly added files in the source to the target destination.
watch({glob:SOURCE + '/**/*.js'})
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(gulp.dest(DESTINATION));
Every time a new file is added into the SOURCE directory I get "Bus error: 10" and the watch breaks without copying the newly added file.
Please you this syntax for adding new files in gulp
gulp.task('task_name', function() {
return watch({
glob: SOURCE
}, function(files) {
return files.pipe(plumber()).pipe(jade()).pipe(gulp.dest(DESTINATION));
});
});
gulp.watch doesn't create a source stream, it triggers on file changes and calls tasks.
Try creating a simple move task alongside a watch task, then trigger the move from the watch. Something like this:
gulp.task('move-js', function() {
gulp.src('./js-src/**/*.js')
.pipe(gulp.dest('./js-dest'));
});
gulp.task('watch-js', ['move-js'], function() {
gulp.watch('./js-src/**/*.js', ['move-js']);
});
Note that the watch-js task has move-js as a dependency, this will call the move task whenever the watch is invoked, rather than waiting for something in the watched directory to change.
I repeated the glob for clarity, but that should probably be stored in a variable.
