Compile `gulpfile.coffee` before running Gulp?

[brod-ie]

Whenever I run this example I get the below output:

$ gulp --require=gulp-coffee
[gulp] Requiring external module gulp-coffee
[gulp] No gulpfile found

So I tried specifying a gulpfile which results in an "unexpected character" error meaning it was expecting JS and not Coffeescript:

tion (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { gulp = require 'gulp'
                                                                        ^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected string

Does this mean that you must manually compile gulpfile.coffee before running Gulp? Because you require gulp-coffee I assumed this wasn't the case.

I think I ran into that too but forget what I did to fix it. I have a PR pending; maybe try to see if this works with your install. Let me know... HTH

Your fixes are for deprecated API calls and for outdated version of the modules (I'm up to date), neither of which are the issue. Thanks for the suggestion though, for now I'll go back to a pure JS gulpfile.
