Running Gulp task one after another in specific order

I need to run one gulp task that contains 3 or 4 another tasks. The problem is (steps):

  1. In task #1 I need download file from remote server
  2. After download completed, I need to run task #2
  3. And when task #2 is done I need to run task #3

This is my code:

var gulp       = require('gulp'),
    decompress = require('gulp-decompress'),
    download   = require("gulp-download"),
    ftp        = require('gulp-ftp'),
    gutil      = require('gulp-util');

gulp.task('default', function(){
    console.log("Hello gulp");
});

var src_download = [
    "https://wordpress.org/latest.zip"
];

gulp.task('download', function(){
    download(src_download)
    .pipe(gulp.dest("./"));
});

gulp.task('unzip-wp', function(){
    return gulp.src('latest.zip')
    .pipe(decompress({strip: 1}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

gulp.task('install', ['download', 'unzip-wp']);

As you can see, when I am trying to run 'install' task - it will run 'unzip-wp' before 'download' has been completed...

What am I doing wrong?

I need to run 'unzip-wp' task only after 'download' task has been completed.

Thanks

Very simple there is no need of unzip task it will also unzip into wordpress folder for the sake that it will not mess your other files.

gulp.task('download', function(){
    download(src_download)
    .pipe(decompress({strip: 1}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./wordpress'));
});


gulp.task('default', ['download']);

You should have the 'unzip-wp' task wait for the 'download' task to finish. To make sure the 'download' task is really finished also add a return statement to that task, i.e. this would do what you're looking for:

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    decompress = require('gulp-decompress'),
    download = require("gulp-download"),
    ftp = require('gulp-ftp'),
    gutil = require('gulp-util');

gulp.task('default', function () {
    console.log("Hello gulp");
});

var src_download = [
    "https://wordpress.org/latest.zip"
];

gulp.task('download', function () {
    return download(src_download)
        .pipe(gulp.dest("./"));
});

gulp.task('unzip-wp', ['download'], function () {
    return gulp.src('latest.zip')
        .pipe(decompress({strip: 1}))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

gulp.task('install', ['unzip-wp']);
