Empty object being returned

[RileySpiller]

I'm getting {} returned by running...

var gulp = require('gulp');
var plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')({lazy: false});
console.log(JSON.stringify(plugins));

I set lazy: false after reading this issue #58

And I my package.json is packed full of plugins, many with or without 'gulp-' prefix.

Any help appreciated.

console.log(JSON.stringify(plugins));

I think does not return all the plugins as ran into this issue myself and only one was returned to the console and wondered why they were not all being loaded. Not sure what this should return but you would expect all plugins to be shown if lazy is false

I would suggest you run a few plugins to see if they work as expected, if you haven't already.

My config at the moment is as follows and works like a dream:

var path = require('path');
var gulpLoadPlugins = require('gulp-load-plugins');
var gulp = require('gulp');

var pluginOpts = {
        config: path.join(__dirname,'package.json'),
        replaceString: /^gulp(-|\.)/,
        scope: ['devDependencies'],
        lazy: false
};

var plugins = gulpLoadPlugins(pluginOpts);

Yeah, I would. Not sure what's going on there.

@RileySpiller did you get to the bottom of this?

👍 same issue

[callumacrae]

@AutoSponge Do you definitely have lazy set to false?

[AutoSponge]

Yes. I've tried multiple versions of node, throwing tasks inside nextTick, etc. Nothing seems to work yet.

package:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "^3.8.11",
    "gulp-load-plugins": "^0.10.0",
    "gulp-sass": "^2.0.1",
  }
}

var gulp = require('gulp);
var plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')({
  pattern: ['gulp-*', 'gulp.*'], // the glob(s) to search for
  config: './package.json', // where to find the plugins, by default  searched up from process.cwd()
  scope: ['devDependencies'], // which keys in the config to look within
  replaceString: /^gulp(-|\.)/, // what to remove from the name of the module when adding it to the context
  camelize: true, // if true, transforms hyphenated plugins names to camel case
  lazy: false, // whether the plugins should be lazy loaded on demand
  rename: {} // a mapping of plugins to rename
});

gulp.task('sass', function () {
  gulp.src('./app/**/*.scss')
    .pipe(plugins.sass().on('error', plugins.sass.logError))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./css'));
});

yields:

[11:47:38] Using gulpfile ~/github/.../gulpfile.js
[11:47:38] Starting 'sass'...
[11:47:38] 'sass' errored after 5.02 ms
[11:47:38] TypeError: undefined is not a function

if I add plugins.sass = require('gulp-sass'); above it, it works.

If you clone this repo locally, do the tests pass for you?

[callumacrae]

Hang on, the error indicates that plugins.sass is defined, otherwise it would say "cannot read property of undefined".

What happens if you run console.log(plugins)?

[AutoSponge]

empty object. If I do console.log(Object.keys(plugins)) empty array. It's the same issue as described above.

[jackfranklin]

What does plugins.sass.toString() log?

[AutoSponge]

TypeError: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined

[AutoSponge]

I tried cloning master--same issue. I down-revved as far as 0.7.1 and it's still happening. I don't want to call it quits but I can probably write a utility using fs.readSync instead of banging my head against it.

BTW, thanks for being so responsive.

[AutoSponge]

Possible hint: I removed all of the config except lazy: true and that worked!

Something else in the config object I posted earlier must be messing with plugin names. So, I added a console.log:

    } else {
      console.log(requireName, name);
      object[requireName] = requireFn(name);
    }

With the original config, it never reaches this... it's not getting any plugins.

[callumacrae]

Hang on, are you using lazy: true now? Originally you were using lazy: false

[jackfranklin]

@AutoSponge are you able to recreate this issue in a repo you could push to GitHub for me to take a look at?

[AutoSponge]

@callumacrae I'm using plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')({lazy: false}); The issue went away when I removed the other config options and just passed the lazy value. I think there's another option silently erroring out.

@jackfranklin I'll try to make a gist or something tonight.
