Hi

I have been trying the new version 3.6 with tthe two build tools Grunt and Gulp.

GRUNT
With Grunt everything is fine

• The local app preview --> OK
• The build app preview --> OK

GULP

• The local app preview --> OK
• The build app preview --> NO OK

In the preview of the build app I got the next error:

.........
[10:47:01] Finished 'start:client' after 168 ms
[10:47:01] Finished 'serve:dist' after 1 min

events.js:141
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

The app normally listen in the port 9000 but with the build app in Gulp listen in 8080. The EADDRINUSE error says that the port was in use, but it wasn't.

Hi
There was a process taking the port 8080. Killing it the build app worked fine.

The locals app use the port 9000 in both, Gulp and Grunt but the build app in Grunt uses the 9000 port and Gulp the 8080. What is the reason to use different ports?

In the current state of the generator, which is the most reliable Build Tool for starting a project, Grunt or Gulp?

Thanks

Personally I prefer Gulp, but it's up to you. The port we use for the serve:dist setup should be the same in both files, though. I'll make sure to change it.
