Hi everyone,

I am completely new to both GSAP and Gulp and I'm having troubles to run gulp after gsap installation.

Don't know what to do.

I have installed gsap this way:
"npm install --save-dev gsap"
 

and after that I add to my gulpfile.js gsap = require('gsap');

 

after that, i run gulp on my cmd and this shows up:

C:\xampp\htdocs\00testing_code\node_modules\gsap\src\uncompressed\TweenMax.js:2535
                        _doc = document,
                               ^

ReferenceError: document is not defined

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:416:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:343:32)

What did I do wrong?!?

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks in advance.

Why are you requiring GSAP inside gulp? You generally shouldn't need to do this. If you require GSAP inside a node environment, which gulp is, it will throw an error because of the CSSPlugin.

 

If you know what you are doing, this thread might help, but I wouldn't recommend doing that if you plan on using the CSSPlugin or Draggable.

Actually, I didn't know what I was doing 

I didn't NEED that, I just thought it was the right way...

 

Thanks for the support anyway.
