I want to add Browser Sync to the gulpfile.js, and got so far as below.



It is a Drupal 8 site on MAMP / apache 80.



I have this working script when I run gulp runbsync. I would like to add it to gulp watch.



I have tried various methods to include the task inside of gulp.task('watch:css', all of which simply failed.



  var browserSync = require('browser-sync').create(),
reload = browserSync.reload;

//define task
gulp.task('bsync', function () {
//spin up dev server
browserSync.init({
proxy: "dev.sitename.local",
hostname: "dev.sitename.local",
port: 3000, //even if apache is running on 80 or something else
});

//when css files change, reload browserSync
gulp.watch('./css/*.css').on('change', function () {
browserSync.reload();
});

});

//call task with 'gulp runbsync'
gulp.task('runbsync', ['bsync']);


The watch parts are:



// The default task.
gulp.task('default', ['build']);

// Build everything.
gulp.task('build', ['sass', 'drush:cc', 'lint']);

// Default watch task.
// @todo needs to add a javascript watch task.
gulp.task('watch', ['watch:css']);

// Watch for changes for scss files and rebuild.
gulp.task('watch:css', ['sass', 'drush:cc', 'lint:sass'], function () {
return gulp.watch(options.theme.scss + '**/*.scss', options.gulpWatchOptions, ['sass', 'drush:cc', 'lint:sass']);
});


I dont know if other parts of the file are nessesary so I left them out here and made a repo (you can even send a pull request)
