Unmet requirements: gulp exists

I am currently doing a TeamCity build using the Gulp Runner and using the System-wide gulp setting.

The agents I have fail to meet the requirement

Unmet requirements: gulp exists

Where is it looking for gulp?

I have tried npm install -g gulp and installed gulp globally but I am not having much luck.

How do I meet the build agents requirement for gulp?

TeamCity defines a lot of those settings through Agent Parameters. If you click on Agents -> then click the link of the agent name to get the details -> then agent parameters tab. View the System Properties, the Env Variables and Config Parameters to see if gulp is referenced anywhere in there. If not, maybe add a path to the executable to the %PATH% env var in the very least and restart the agent. Sometimes restarting the agent and/or server fixes those issues as well. - Japster24

I had the same problem. Try to add this line

NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules/

to end of buildAgent.properties. This shows to teamcity agent that you have gulp and all needed nodejs's modules

I had this exact problem and I have just solved it by changing the account that the build agent runs under. when you run the agent installer you get the option to use the system account or a user account. I had used the system account but I installed node, npm and gulp under my user account so the agent didn't have access to it.

so the quickest solution is to run the build agent installer again and at the end select a user account to run the service under

I solved adding to the PATH the user npm path, for example, C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Roaming\npm and then restart build agent.

On this folder you can see gulp files like "gulp" and "gulp.cmd".
