Hi,
I am seeing below error when I run gulp connect.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks,

This is the snippet from gulpfile.js

gulp.task('connect', function() {
connect.server({
root: ['dist'],
port: 8000

});

});

Hi, I just discovered there was breaking changes on connect version 3.6.6, so, there's no more connect.static(..).
You should use serve-static instead of connect.static().
See the documentation from connect and serve-static.
Here is an example of how I solved this problem:

const serveStatic = require('serve-static');

connect.server({
    name: '...',
    root: ['./src/cliente', './bower_components'],
    port: 3002,
    middleware: connect => 
      [
        connect().use('/bower_components', serveStatic('./bower_components')),
        connect().use('/node_modules', serveStatic('./node_modules'))
      ]
  });
