After successfully pushing my existing nodejs app to the VSTS repository, I incorporated three build tasks into the workflow.
- The first task, npm install, is running smoothly without any issues.
- However, when it comes to the Gulp task, which includes a gulpfile with a command that starts listening on specific ports using "nodemon app.js", the third task for building the Web App fails to initiate. This is because the Gulp task takes precedence and needs to finish before the Web App task can begin. For instance, if the message "Express server started listening on port 1234" appears, then the gulp build task will still be in progress, causing a delay in starting the subsequent task.
