Hello,

I'm seeing a strange issue on one of my dev boxes (VS2015.1, Win7.1). The issue that I'm seeing is in Task Runner Explorer - the output says it failed to run gulpfile.js, but I do see the output from the gulp --tasks-simple command, and the tasks are listed. In addition, if I open a command prompt and navigate to the project's folder, running gulp from the command line succeeds.

Is there any way to turn on some tracing for Task Runner Explorer to try and track down what issue it is running into? I've only seen it on this one box, and it has worked on this machine previously (I cannot think of any specific installs/updates that may have affected its behavior, but there have been changes - new packages, updates, installed VS Code, etc.). I tried rolling back/reinstalling some of the easier apps such as NodeJs and clearing my node_modules, but haven't tried re-installing VS (trying to avoid that).

Thanks a lot!
Jerry

The GitHub Issue Tracker for the aspnet/Tooling repo is being deprecated in favor of Visual Studio's Report a Problem tool.

If this issue is still a problem with the RTW release of Visual Studio 2017, please report a new issue using the Report a Problem tool. While you can still use .NET Core and ASP.NET Preview tools with Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2017 is now the officially supported tool for developing .NET Core and ASP.NET Core projects.

By using the Report a Problem tool (available in both VS 2017 and VS 2015), you can collect detailed information about the problem, and send it to Microsoft with just a few button clicks. See Visual Studio's Talk to Us page for more details.
