I installed Gulp.js globally with Yarn:

$ yarn global add gulp --no-bin-links
yarn global v1.17.3

(I'm using the --no-bin-links parameter to avoid this error: error An unexpected error occurred: "EPROTO: protocol error, symlink '../../../semver/bin/semver' -> '/path/to/project/public/components/accord/node_modules/.bin/semver'".)

The yarn global list provides the expected output:

$ yarn global list
yarn global v1.17.3

But when I now execute gulp, old versions (Gulp 3.9.1 and Gulp CLI 2.2.0 are used:

$ gulp -v
CLI version: 2.2.0
Local version: 3.9.1

What is wrong here and how to install the required Gulp version globally correctly with Yarn and make this version be used?

  • Have you tried uninstalling gulp using npm (which I assume you used to install 3.9.1)? https://stackoverflow.com/a/44962536/3650835 – KayakinKoder Apr 17 '20 at 14:17
  • Thanks for your comment! Yes, before Yarn I used Gulp as npm package. Yes, tried to remove it, but ist not there anymore: `$ npm uninstall -g gulp` `->` `up to date in 0.04s`. (The same for Gulp CLI) And the package is actually not there anymore: `npm list -g | grep "gulp"` `->` `[email protected], [email protected]`. – automatix Apr 17 '20 at 14:45
  • Hmm, I would remove all gulp artifacts (the v4 you added, cli, etc). Restart your computer. Doing `gulp -v` should then show gulp is not installed. Also note though that gulp can be installed locally in a project, so make sure you're in say a top level folder of your machine, not in a project that may have had gulp installed – KayakinKoder Apr 17 '20 at 17:13
