Description

Another issue with importing tasks from main repo into my own gulp file. Note that I've changed my task name to watchui rather than watch ui. Throws this exception:

Seems to be fixed by removing the text descriptions of the tasks from the suggested code like so:

// import task with a custom task name
gulp.task('watch ui', watch));
gulp.task('build ui', build));
