My initial query was similar to this one here, but it led me to delve deeper into research and explore a new approach.
Essentially, I am attempting to consolidate all my .js and .coffee files within a single gulp.src() object and execute relevant tasks based on the file extension.
What started as an exploration with gulp-if has evolved into utilizing gulp-filter, which I find preferable. However, I am currently facing challenges in harmonizing this setup with gulp-sourcemaps. It appears that the current task is overriding others; nevertheless, my ultimate goal is to concatenate everything into one file, source-map it into another, and have each file extension trigger its respective tasks. The commented-out uglify task continues to cause issues without providing much guidance. Additionally, when the filters are functioning and a CoffeeScript error occurs, I observe that coffeescriptlint() executes its duty, but then my watch command remains unresponsive.
It seems like I might be heading towards extracting each sourcemap using a tool like gulp-extract-sourcemap, although I am unsure if that is the correct approach.
Usually, I would separate the JS and Coffeescript tasks; however, due to numerous intertwined aspects between the two, combining them using a simple filter seemed rational—especially since I am grappling with sourcemaps for both.
I believe I am close to resolving this issue, so any helpful nudges in the right direction would be highly appreciated. I have included the current gulpfile.js and package.json if you wish to test it out. Thank you!
