Task 'default' is not in your gulpfile

Question

I have tried the NPM install and removed the node_modules folder however I am still getting the error when I run gulp etc

Have I missed something out of my file?

var gulp   = require('gulp');
var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');


    /*
     |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     | Elixir Asset Management
     |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     |
     */


    /*
     |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     | Elixir JS Asset Management
     |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     |
     */

     elixir.extend('uglify', function(){

        gulp.task('uglify', function(){

            gulp.src('public/admin/js/*.js')
                .pipe(uglify())
                .pipe(ext('-min.js'))
                .pipe(gulp.dest('public/admin/js'));
        });
            return this.queueTask('uglify');
     });

Like some people say in the comments, you don't have a task in gulp called "default". You have 2 options:

• Create a 'default' task:

  var gulp   = require('gulp');
  var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');
  var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
  
  
  /*
   |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   | Elixir Asset Management
   |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   |
   */
  
  
  /*
   |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   | Elixir JS Asset Management
   |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   |
   */
  
  elixir.extend('uglify', function(){
  
      gulp.task('uglify', function(){
  
          gulp.src('public/admin/js/*.js')
              .pipe(uglify())
              .pipe(ext('-min.js'))
              .pipe(gulp.dest('public/admin/js'));
      });
  return this.queueTask('uglify');
  });
  
  elixir.extend('default', function(){
  
      gulp.task('default', function(){
          //Your code here!
      });
  return this.queueTask('default');
  });
  

• Call Gulp with "gulp uglify" instead of just "gulp" to run the task that you already have.

I do not have knowlege about Laravel so I hope this answer serves you.
