Gulp Error: Cannot find module browserify

Question

Getting the above error when running gulp.

Can't figure out why. I've read a few things such as the gulp.src needs a ./ infront of app.

var gulp       = require('gulp'),
browserify = require('gulp-browserify');

gulp.task('scripts', function () {

gulp.src(['./app/main.js'])
    .pipe(browserify({
        debug: true,
        transform: [ 'reactify' ]
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/'));

});

gulp.task('default', ['scripts']);

Like so..

I've done a npm install so the node module is is where it should be. Its worth pointing out its called gulp-browserify in the node-module.

As well as I've installed browserify globally on my mac.

Let me know your thoughts or if there is any information im missing.

I'm new to react and trying to literally just set up node.js as a backend and create a react environment.

Gerrit, I've updated the comment with everything i've got in my gulp file. I install the module by doing a npm install — Max Lynn

gulp-browserify was blacklisted by gulp

You need to use browserify with vinyl-source-stream.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var browserify = require('browserify');
var source     = require('vinyl-source-stream');

gulp.task('browserify', function() {
    return browserify({ entries: ["./app/main.js"] })
        .bundle()
        .pipe(source('main.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/')));
});

Why did gulp feel they needed to blacklist it?

Thanks for this comment but I'm still getting the same error after installing the npm and using your code. Any ideas?

I am working on a task similar to yours as we are speaking and I created this task and it works great right now. All I did was npm install browserify --save, npm install vinyl-source-stream --save. Make sure to npm uninstall gulp-browserify --save
