  • have you tried logging to the console inside the task, just to see if it is being called? `console.log("Something")` – simonlchilds Dec 11 '18 at 12:14

In Gulp 3.x you didn't need to signal completion. But from Gulp 4.x you need to do that.

Gulp automatically passes a callback function to your task as its first argument. Simple way in your case would be calling the callback. 

gulp.task('default', function(done) {
  console.log("Started");
  done();
});

For more information You can check this question out: Gulp error: The following tasks did not complete: Did you forget to signal async completion?

This works nicely for me.

gulp.task('default', async  function(){
  console.log("This is default task!");
});

You can also try this one.

gulp.task('default', async ()=>
 console.log('This is default task!')
);
