gulp build is not building semantic.min.css

[nestorvanz]

In a fresh installation i am running "gulp build" but in the "dist" folder is not present semantic.min.css, theres only the semantic.min.js, "components" and "themes" folder.

I also have this issue

I had the same issue
I solved it by changing the build-css gulp task.
In file tasks/build/css.js in semantic folder, remove the following line
compressedStream = stream.pipe(clone());

[nestorvanz]

What are the changes that you made? @himanshu230

[himanshu230]

@nestorvanz There is a file /tasks/build/css.js. Search for line
compressedStream = stream.pipe(clone());
Removing that line seems to solve the issue.
It might be because later on, compressedStream is again set, which means that this clone stream is not piped to anything, creating backpressure.

Hmm…that file hasn't changed since July 2016…

Been trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong all morning. Is this an issue with the semantic-ui release?

@Rex90 This problem started after an update for gulp-clone was released.

I made a pull request this morning with a fix so hopefully it gets merged. You can do a temporary fix by commenting out a line as @himanshu230 mentioned in his comment.

I manually changed gulp-clone to 1.0.0 and remove that line as @himanshu230 suggested but still cannot get any css file after gulp build command. Any idea?

Both Semantic UI (2.2.13) and gulp CLI (3.9.1) are the latest.

EDIT: never mind, I was messing around with theme.config and forgot to revert it back, looks like gulp won't show any error message when there is error in theme.config

Not a fix, but:
I have found that it might have something to do with the file size. At least these are my findings:

Editing semantic.json, the "components" array, and removing e.g. half of the components will build the css with no problem. Test with gulp build-css. You can remove whichever components you want (removing one is not enough), so that's why I think it has something to do with the total size of if.

[fsworld009]

@specimen151 I think it might also because you forgot to specify the theme for certain components (or you put an invalid theme name?) in theme.config but you included those components in "components" array, which causes the build script fail. At least for me I am able to build all components into one css file.

@fsworld009 Could be, however I if I change the gulp-clone version to 1.0.0 or uncomment the clone line, like suggested above, it all works. And it also worked fine (clean install, no modifications) two weeks ago. I looked at the new gulp-clone, and there has been many changes there to the underlying dependencies. Maybe they don't work the same.

And also I am (w/o any mods) able to build all components, but not all at the same time. E.g. I specify the first half of the list of every component, builds fine. Then I replace with the second half of the list (of every component) and it builds fine. But when I have like 70% or more of the complete list of components, it seems like there is some buffer that's full or something, because it won't build, and it doesn't matter which components I remove... Anyway the above suggestions/pull-requests works for me.
