Task "default" is not in your gulpfile

Question

I run gulp in my console I got this error:

Task 'default' is not in your gulpfile

My gulpfile looks just fine:

var gulp = require('gulp'),     LiveServer = require('gulp-live-server'),     browserSync = require('browser-sync');  gulp.task('live-server', function () {     var server = new LiveServer('server/main.js');     server.start(); });  gulp.task('serve', ['live-server'], function () {     browserSync.init(null, {         proxy: "http://localhost:3000",         port: 9001     }); });

When you just run gulp in your console it will look for a default task to run. You only defined live-server and serve as tasks.

To solve define a default task, you can add the task you actually want to run as the dependency like so:

gulp.task( 'default', [ 'serve' ] ) 

Now if you run gulp it will run the default task which in turn runs the serve task. Alternatively you can just run gulp serve and it will work as well.
