I guess you have a gulp task for mocha like this:
gulp.task('mocha', function() {
return gulp.src('test/*.spec.js', {read: false})
.pipe(mocha())
});
Because mocha plugin last in pipe, gulp
can catch an error from here by yourself.
You don't need to add use wrapper in that case. This wrapper is made for the catching error in a middle of pipes.
Yes, I also removed wrapper from mocha task.
Thank`s for nice idea to catch build process errors!
Let's assume I have few consecutive actions in one task. I have to catch errors for each of them?
Somehow like this way?
gulp.task('styles', wrapPipe(function(success, error) {
return gulp.src('less/*.less')
.pipe(less().on('error', error))
.pipe(autoprefixer().on('error', error))
.pipe(minifyCss().on('error', error))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/css'));
}));
@NeXTs Yes, you should do so, because pipes do not propagate errors

There's a problem with the code while using gulp to run asynchronous mocha tests:
Error: task completion callback called too many times
at line 14 here.
