Gulp.src glob pattern fails in various edge situations

What were you expecting to happen?

Gulp.src works as it did previously in v4, ignoring directories and files outside of scope of patterns provided. No error is raised.

What actually happened?

Gulp.src scans entire directory tree and fails on at least these cases:

• Another process runs in different sub-directory that creates and removes temporary files
• Broken or invalid link is encountered

Please give us a sample of your gulpfile

import path from 'path';
import os from 'os';

// Gulp specific
import Gulp from 'gulp';

const dirs = {
  tmp: path.join(os.tmpdir(), 'gulp-build-cache'),
  out: 'public/static',
};

// ---

function hash() {
  return Gulp.src(`${dirs.tmp}/**/*.*`)
    .pipe(Gulp.dest(dirs.out))
}

// ---

function css() {
  return Gulp.src('assets/public/**/*.css')
    .pipe(Gulp.dest(dirs.tmp));
}

// ---

export const build = Gulp.series(css, hash);

• node version (run node -v): v18.20.1
• npm version (run npm -v): 10.5.0
• gulp version (run gulp -v): 5.0.0 (CLI 3.0.0)

Additional information

The first terminal output is result of running composer in parallel with gulp. Second one is result of placing broken link in directory tree (the link becomes valid later on, but is not at the time gulp is being run). The issue seems related to #129 but is different enough that I believe it warrants raising separate issue.

@proton-ab can you try out 8.0.2 and open more concise issues for anything that still has problems? Thanks 🙏

[proton-ab]

Will try in a moment and report back.

I still need to look into #128 because the issue isn't clear on what paths don't work, as the only error seems to indicate an absolute path outside of the cwd.

Sorry, I had to redact path in the first error message and might've caused confusion. I've adjusted it to be a absolute path as that seems to be what error message always produces. cwd of gulp in this case is /code. Assuming that you no longer walk entire cwd tree then this should be resolved as Gulpfile only globs on /code/assets/**.

Can confirm v8.0.2 is not susceptible to any of the two edge cases from the issue. Thank you for quick fix.
