Hi killer, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

Looks like gulp isn’t installed during npm install while the container is spinning up. I remixed and looked at the logs, and we see this:

So it looks like npm i fails because fsevents only supports MacOS (darwin)

I found a workaround which is to add this in your package.json:

  "devDependencies" : {
    "fsevents": "^2.3.2"
  },

Then open the Glitch terminal and run npm i -f (npm install --force) to force reinstallation. fsevents is an optional dependency of chokidar for MacOS, and doing this will help npm realise that it doesn’t need to install it on Linux.

After that, gulp should be installed correctly.

If you go back to your Glitch editor and open the logs, you’ll get a new error:

AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Task function must be specified
    at Gulp.set [as _setTask] (/rbd/pnpm-volume/f10daa94-a023-42de-928a-5475fb47550f/node_modules/gulp/node_modules/undertaker/lib/set-task.js:10:3)

at Object.<anonymous> (/app/gulpfile.js:18:6)

This is something to do with how tasks are specified in different versions of gulp. You can fix it yourself using the advice in this SO answer:

Good luck, come back with any more questions :slight_smile:

Quick follow up: In the original repo, gulp is 3.9.1, I think you should revert to using the package versions from that file, as gulp 4 works differently.
