Hi developer experts, I have a small but frustrating use case, and so far, I couldn’t get my head around this problem & ideal solution. I am running my command, and I am facing one problem with the assertionerror [err_assertion]: task function must be specified Below is the command I used:
$ gulp build

I am looking forward to gaining some knowledge from all experts. Thank you, guys!
The cause: This issue happens because you are using gulp 4but the syntax of gulfile.js is gulp 3.
Solution: You can resolve your problem by downgrading your gulp to 3.x.x or using gulp 4 syntaxes.
Syntax Gulp 3:
Syntax Gulp 4:
Replace your last line in gulpfile.js
