As I utilize browsersync with Gulp for running specific tasks upon file changes, I notice that each time I save a file, my terminal displays 10+ [BS] Reloading Browsers... messages and the overall performance suffers.
Below is an outline of my gulpfile:
gulp.task('bowerJS', function() {
gulp.src(lib.ext('js').files)
.pipe(concat('lib.min.js'))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/js'));
});
gulp.task('bowerCSS', function() {
gulp.src(lib.ext('css').files)
.pipe(concat('lib.min.css'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/css/'));
});
// Task to compile less into CSS & auto-inject it into browsers
gulp.task('less', function() {
gulp.src('./app/css/*.less')
.pipe(less())
.pipe(autoprefixer({
browsers: ['last 2 versions'],
cascade: false
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/css'))
.pipe(browserSync.stream());
});
// Rendering Jade templates as HTML files
gulp.task('templates', function() {
gulp.src('views/**/*.jade')
.pipe(jade({
pretty: true
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/src/'))
});
gulp.task('php', function() {
php.server({ base: 'app', port: 8123, keepalive: true});
});
gulp.task('serve', ['bowerJS', 'bowerCSS', 'less', 'templates', 'php'], function() {
var proxyOptions1 = url.parse('http://some-site:1234');
proxyOptions1.route = '/api/hi';
browserSync({
port: 8999,
proxy: '127.0.0.1:8123',
middleware: [
proxy(proxyOptions1),
history()
],
notify: false
});
gulp.watch("app/assets/css/*.less", ['less']);
gulp.watch("app/**/*.html").on('change', browserSync.reload);
gulp.watch("app/assets/js/*.js").on('change', browserSync.reload);
gulp.watch("views/**/*.jade", ['templates']);
});
Need some insights on what could be causing these issues. Any suggestions?
