#Error management in gulp

Sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something

No one can assure you, that plugins will run smooth in any circumstances (except for tests - they could), so neither should you convince anyone, that your plugin will never break. Only thing, that you could possibly do (if something gone wrong) - is gracefully inform your plugin user, that something went wrong and die.

We are will use this plugin from beginning to demonstrate error management. Suppose you have a task in gulpfile.js that contains this code (we modified it a little bit to be closer to real-usage):

var coffee = require('gulp-coffee');

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	<script type="text/javascript">
	(function () {
	"use strict";
	// once cached, the css file is stored on the client forever unless
	// the URL below is changed. Any change will invalidate the cache
	var css_href = './index_files/web-fonts.css';
	// a simple event handler wrapper
	function on(el, ev, callback) {
	if (el.addEventListener) {
	el.addEventListener(ev, callback, false);

	var cradle = require('cradle');
	var crypto = require('crypto');

	cradle.setup({
	host: 'foo.cloudant.com',
	port: 80,
	cache: false,
	timeout: 5000
	})

	cd $HOME
	ln -s `which php54` ~/bin/php
	export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
	curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer \| php54
	echo -e "\n# Composer\nalias composer=\"php54 \$HOME/composer.phar\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
	source $HOME/.bash_profile

	# just run "sudo trimforce enable" to activate the trim support from now on!
