Is it possible to change the default gulpfile file name for esm packages

[plastikfan]

I am defining a gulp workflow for an esm package and have taken heed of the advice here, which says rename the gulpfile to gulpfile.esm.js and install esm (actually, I renamed to gulpfile.esm.mjs, because the .js extension does not work, fails with TypeError: Invalid host defined options).

The problem we have now running gulp, is that everytime we invoke it, we must now explicitly define the gulpfile name, ie -f gulpfile.esm.mjs. So I was wondering is there a way to change the default gulpfile name? I was hoping we could specify it in a .rc file like .gulprc which would aleviate the problem of no longer having a default gulpfile. Running any gulp command now has some friction on it as we have to keep specifying the gulpfile path. Thanks.

I discovered a workaround (tested only in linux tho) to this issue, and this is to create a symbolic link from from gulpfle.js to gulpfile.esm.js (ie ln -s gulpfle.js gulpfile.esm.js). Notr sure if this is the best solution or if there are any drawbacks with it, but it doses serve the purpose.
