I updated to 5.0.0 and saw the same result. Rolled back to 4.0.2, which I had been using, and it worked as before. It has only been out for about a week, so perhaps a bit of patience for a better error message. However, in a different directory, run gulp. Mine runs and gulp -v gives me that the CLI version is 2.3.0. I suspect that it's the global CLI version conflicting with the local directory version. – Fader

Answer 1

The local-directory gulp and the globally-installed gulp are mismatched. If you gulp -v in some other directory you'll probably get 2.3.0, which is now (early 2024) outdated. Looks like gulp CLI 3.0.0 matches up with gulp 5.0.0

Uninstall/reinstall the global version, from your home directory or other directory:

npm uninstall -g gulp
npm install -g gulp

Now install gulp in your project directory, and gulp 5.0.0 should work.

I can say a more helpful error message would be nice.

Weirdly, I ran npm uninstall -g gulp-cli, then gulp -v, then npm uninstall -g gulp, then gulp -v, but both times the version still says CLI version: 2.3.0. I think npm install gulp-cli -g --force was necessary for me. – Ostmark

You can try npx gulp -v this should display the version of gulp you are using. I had gulp-cli v2.3.0 installed and that was the cause. – Spoil
