If anyone wants to meetup and work on npm/gulp/typescript lmk. i've tried and failed to install twice now. it's just outside my comfort level but i wanna learn.
j
what are you trying to do, set up a gulp task to compile typescript sources?

@_nikhilpalli would prob be interested in this

I have that implemented in our process. Id love to show you how i did it

I basically don't have a proper development environment set up. I'm using suitescript with vs code and I have syntax highlighting but no autocomplete with scruitescript 2.0 and no autoupload. I'm sick of using the file cabinet UI.
I was watching the head in the cloud autoupload bundle installation video on youtube and I haven't used any of webstorm, gulp, typescript. Got halfway and couldn't complete the installation.

I saw your other comments about your issue. It's not uncommon for nodejs packages and webdev tools in general to assume the presence of unix tools or that the underlying file system is unix like. In other words they work fine in linux and macOS, but not so much in windows. In the comments of that video some other people said the way to get around that error is to tell webstorm to use
gulp.cmd
instead of
gulp
I use WSL, which runs a linux environment on windows, which you may want to check out for a longer term solution.

neeeed. i'm a linux user. i used dos/windows when i was a kid but not since 2011. i have to use windows for work. i about ready to run linux from a virtual machine at this point. lol

👍 yeah my experience with WSL has been pretty smooth Essentially you just install a linux distro from windows store. It has its own file system, linked to your windows drive at /mnt/c. Then in your workflows it just replaces powershell/cmd with a bash prompt hosted by the linux distro
