cannot read property 'apply' of undefined gulp

Question

I am trying to use the ng-factory generator to scaffold a new project to build an angularjs component. After the project has been created with the yo ng-factory command, I tried to run it using the gulp serve task but found the following error:

c:\projects\bywebclient>gulp serve [11:20:51] Loading C:\projects\bywebclient\gulp_tasks\browsersync.js [11:20:52] Loading C:\projects\bywebclient\gulp_tasks\karma.js [11:20:57] Loading C:\projects\bywebclient\gulp_tasks\misc.js [11:20:57] Loading C:\projects\bywebclient\gulp_tasks\webpack.js [11:21:07] Using gulpfile c:\projects\bywebclient\gulpfile.js C:\Users\ATUL KALE\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\gulp\bin\gulp.js:129 gulpInst.start.apply(gulpInst, toRun); 

^

Am I missing something? I already tried to run again the npm install

Answer 1

Try to reinstall gulp-cli :

npm install -g gulp-cli 

Answer 2

npm install -g gulp-cli 

And important: after running that command, open a new terminal so it'll take effect.
