gulp-exec

exec plugin for gulp

Usage

var exec = require('gulp-exec');
 
gulp.task('reset', function() {
  var options = {
    continueOnError: false, // default = false, true means don't emit error event
    pipeStdout: false, // default = false, true means stdout is written to file.contents
  };
  var reportOptions = {
  	err: true, // default = true, false means don't write err
  	stderr: true, // default = true, false means don't write stderr
  	stdout: true // default = true, false means don't write stdout
  };
  return gulp.src('./**/**')
    .pipe(exec(file => `git checkout ${file.path} test`, options))
    .pipe(exec.reporter(reportOptions));
});

Note: If you just want to run a command, just run the command, don't use this plugin:

var exec = require('child_process').exec;
 
gulp.task('task', function (cb) {
  exec('ping localhost', function (err, stdout, stderr) {
    console.log(stdout);
    console.log(stderr);
    cb(err);
  });
})

gulp.src('.') does bad things. Don't do it.

Note: running and reporting are now separate, a breaking change from previous versions.

Upgrading

Version 5 and later no longer use lodash templates. Upgrade from:

.pipe(exec('git checkout <%= file.path %> <%= options.customTemplatingThing %>', options))

to:

.pipe(exec(file => `git checkout ${file.path} customTemplatingThing`, options))

Note how you can now resolve the command with an ES6 string template in the function.
