My Visual Studio project contains a file named gulpfile.js in a project root folder. This file was added to the project by a teammate who uses VS Code. She uses this gulp file to perform the "bundling and minimizing" operations that VS 2019 does through the Bundler & Minimizer extension.
When I load the project in VS 2019, I get a warning message from Task Runner Explorer:
Failed to run "C:\Users\xxx\Gulpfile.js"... cmd.exe /c gulp --tasks-simple 'gulp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Now, I don't have gulp installed, so I understand the complaint that 'gulp' is not recognized. But why is Task Runner trying to deal with gulpfile.js in the first place?
I have two questions related to this:
- If I had gulp installed, would the gulp file be executed?
- How do I tell Task Runner not to try to deal with this file (and thus eliminate the error message)?
