Help With CSS Changes and Gulp

[bitlab]

Nice to see you all are trying the development tools 

@jener8tionx :

If you want to use the gulp watch mode local on the pi you need to arrange the following:

1. make sure the host moode.test is in you host file (and point to 127.0.0.1)
   
2. make sure the pi can start a webbrowser on the remote console (ssh session).
   

For point 2 I use under Window MobaXTerm as ssh client. MobaXTerm has a X server buildin, which will allow the Pi to start a browser and use you X server on Windows 10 for rendering.

@Nutul :
You indicate you did have problems with the remote deploy.
To be sure you setup the correct remote target in the package.json ?:

Code:

 "remote": {
   "host": "yourmoodedevice",
   "user": "pi",
   "password": "moodeaudio"
 },

The gulp script is just like your own script using scp for copying the files.

@grumbleweed :

Yes there is a cache. Use the first time the clean target or --force option to start fresh. Minifying and creating source maps cost time ... a lot of time if you doing multiple development cycles after each other. In that case the cache will save to you time.


And to all:
Keep an eye on which branch/tag your are using for personal development. The head of develop, can break you own system, because it can need a db upgrade or need additional packages.
The savest is to checkout a branch based on the tag of your current running version.
