New to Webstorm, getting gulp errors with WebStarterKit
I'm brand new with Webstorm so I decided to make a simple project to play with using WebStarterKit
Right off the bat I'm having issues with gulp. When I try and see the tasklist in the gulpfile.babel.js I get the error "Failed to list task details" (screenshot http://d.pr/i/8FSA)
I'm clearly missing something but it's not evident. Also is there a tutorial on how to use webstorm using a sample project anywhere?

Thank you for that but it raises more questions than it answers:
The workaround is to:
1. import from the commonjs source, which you cannot jump into/edit on the fly; or
2. import from the sources using
npm link, but remember to yank the source imports before sharing your library externally.I tried googling what both of those mean yet was unable to find anything that produced a concrete answer.
I can't recreate the issue with WebStarterKit project:
what Node/Gulp versions do you use? Did you modify the WebStarterKit project in any way? can you list gulp tasks in system terminal, by running gulp with --tasks-json?
I haven't changed the project at all.
I think I found the problem though.
It's unable to find the gulp modules even though they're installed globally
here's the error http://d.pr/i/k0vl
globally installed http://d.pr/i/1dPpE
it's expected - you need to have your Gulp modules installed locally, otherwise they won't be resolved (unless you add then manually to NODE_PATH (not recommended)). Node doesn't consider global modules by default when using require() (which you need to include gulp within your script).
