gulp.js - dest.on is not a function

I am attempting to compile my styles.scss with gulp-sass when I recieve the following error:

[09:48:49] Starting 'e'...
[09:48:49] 'e' errored after 2.35 ms
[09:48:49] TypeError: dest.on is not a function

I have gulp-sass installed in another project and works correctly - with the same gulpfile.js which means it must be a problem with in the node_modules folder.

Here is the gulpfile.js for reference:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');

gulp.task('e', function(){
  gulp.src('app/admin/assets/sass/*.scss') // ## Not working
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe('dist/admin/assets/css');
});

gulp.task('default', ['e'], function(){
  console.log('Gulp tasks started!');
});

How can I fix this problem?

Your destination should be written like :

gulp.task('e', function(){
  gulp.src('app/admin/assets/sass/*.scss') // ## Not working
    .pipe(sass())
    .pipe( gulp.dest('dist/admin/assets/css') );
});

In order to pipe properly to your destination folder.
