I could see pretty-checkbox's developer last published 4 years ago.

Let's say the new module used popper-js@2.0 and someone who already had popper-js@4.0 as direct or sub-dependency in their project is more likely to face unmet peer dependency on using the new module.

Downgrading the version is not recommended due to possible conflict with other modules. A workaround would be to add resolutions.

Before doing anything, ensure there is no other version of react installed globally, delete your node-modules folder and package-lock.json file. Ensure your package.json dependency has react@15.4.0 and only add popperjs@^1.16.0 if you're sure that other modules in your project are not relying on later versions of popperjs.

Take a look at this article for a good explanation on peer dependencies

If there are other modules that needs other versions of popperjs then in your package.json you could add an additional property at the end like below,

Turns out I'm an idiot and Watchify is "practically a must" since it caches dependencies between watched builds. Using a native gulp watch was my problem.

Updated gulpfile.js

I was stuck between 2 different errors:

• In tsconfig.json setting "target" : "ES6" would break by never quitting the gulp task.
• In tsconfig.json setting to "target" : "ES5" would complain about a missing __spreadArray function in tslib.

Here's how I ended up fixing this:

1. Updating all the dev dependencies to latest versions.
2. Manually tslib using npm i --save-dev tslib to ensure there was a latest version available. Because I updated the TS version in step 1. which should include the latest tslib this is likely unnecessary...but it felt good to include it manually anyway.
3. I found a suggestion to use a fork of @rollup/plugin-typescript named rollup-plugin-typescript2 to make it work. This itself is a strange issue as supposedly that fork only exists to add error logging in the console to tell you about any TS errors. But now the original project also outputs errors and yet doesn't work with gulp for us (or maybe just me) anymore. The fork is maintained and popular on npm so I'm not too concerned but I'd still prefer to to be on the "official" package. Obviously I changed my gulpfile.js to use this new package instead but it's a drop in replacement as far as API.
4. Also added the paths value to tsconfig.json to point to the installed tslib node module which I manually checked to make sure it had the __spreadArray function we needed. I found this fix in this answer while I was related issues for clues

Some combination of all the above fixed it. Likely 3 and 4 were the main fixes.

The following is the updated versions of my tsconfig.json and the relevant part of my package.json in case it's useful to any future reader.

I wrote the following code and now the 'html-minifier' plugin can work directly in 'gulp'.
The const options variable is the 'html-minifier' plugin settings.
Then we create a function gHtmlMinify that can be run with the gulp gHtmlMinify command.
return src(...) is your html files path.
.on('data', function(file) {...} Each thread has a "data" event..
We hang the processing of the "data" event..
When the "data" event is called, the "file" object comes to us, which contains information: file name, file path, working directory and file contents.
The content of the file is represented as a read buffer file.isBuffer().
Buffer.from The raw data is stored in instances of the Buffer class.
(file.contents.toString() This file content is BUFFER.
The toString() method returns a function that represents an object. Converts to a string.

console.log ({ // Outputting the structure of what the file consists of.
contents: file.contents, // Content of the file BUFFER. The buffer is not a string!
path: file.path, // Path to the file.
cwd: file.cwd, // Current directory. "The directory where the gulp command was run".
base: file.base, // Value before asterisks i.e. app/
relative: file.relative, // Value after the asterisks i.e. filename.html
dirname: file.dirname, // File directory.
basename: file.basename, // File name.
stem: file.stem, // File name without extension.
extname: file.extname // File extension.
})

After a lot of researching, I found this blog which has the answer, or almost it has the links to the answer.

One of the links took me to the most detailed tutorial about Gulp + Browserify + Babelify it could ever exist. Here the link. These are a serie of tutorial explaining how to implement Gulp from Scratch. If you don't want to see the videos and just want the code go here.

This is my final gulpfile.js.

And this is the answer to my question:

My formerly build function in gulpfile.js (now called js)

You need to add add/install gulp-watch... i dont see it in your package.json. To add it try:

I believe that's the problem is in your package.json simply run npm install and it should work.

The example was using twgl 1.x and your gulp is using 4.x, things changed. In particular twgl.drawBufferInfo changed from

React.PropTypes has been extracted to it's own package since React v15.5.0.

From this issue. The fix is to use the prop-types package instead
