TypeError ... is not a function

Question

I have installed gulp-run-command as follows:

npm install gulp-run-command

I'm running a series of gulp tasks. All the others work, except this one. Here's the task where I'm running gulp-run-command:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var run = require('gulp-run-command');

gulp.task('testTask', run('testString'));

It is directly from the basic usage of gulp-run-command as shown here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-run-command#usage

I get the following error as I run gulp:

TypeError: run is not a function
    at Object.<anonymous> (c:\mypath\gulp\tasks\common\initLocalJsonSe

    at requireDir (c:\mypath\node_modules\require-dir\index.js:123:33)

    at requireDir (c:\mypath\node_modules\require-dir\index.js:76:33)

What's wrong here?

Answer 1

Ok, it worked as I added .default at the end of the line: var run = require('gulp-run-command');

So, like this:

var run = require('gulp-run-command').default
