Kata

In this kata we will add plumber by piping it into a task.

First we need to install the gulp-plumber plugin.

Npm install gulp-plumber --save-dev

Now add a reference to the gulp plugin.

    , plumber = require('gulp-plumber')

Add plumber to a task.

gulp.task('copy-to-wwwroot', function () {
    return gulp.src(['src/**/*'])
      .pipe(plumber({
          errorHandler: onError
      }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('wwwroot'));
});

Putting it all together you will end up with something like this.
