Error - Local gulp not found in project directory while running a spfx sample application
Hi I need some help in running a sample SharePoint Framework project. It used to be so easy to develop in Visual Studio since you only had to write some code but VS took care of everything else t...
I had to delete the following files from the project folder for "npm install" to work correctly to install the dependencies.
1) package-lock.json,
2) yarn.lock &
3) shrinkwrap.yarn
Thanks to Andrew Connell for his advise. I tried everything what is available on the net and nothing helped. Hope it helps you.
Hi Arun,
I would start by deleting the node_modules folder on the project and run npm install again. Ensure you do this in the project folder as well - I remember I did this mistake once as I had 2 folders with almost identical names :)
SPFx has a dependency on gulp, so it should get installed when you run npm install
Hope this helps, but please reply with additional details if not

- I try this possibility nothie worked. still, this error is not gone 'gulp: The term 'gulp' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling
of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.'
