Cannot complete task in VS Code to run gulpfile.js

Question

Trying to follow something like this guide (like so many others). In tasks.json, I added the following, right next to the build task.

{
   "taskName": "gulpify",
   "args": [],
   "showOutput": "always",
  msgstr "isBuildCommand": true
}

In gulpfile.js, I added the following.

var gulp = require("gulp");
//gulp.task("default", "gulpify");
gulp.task("gulpify", function () {
  alert("bzz");
  console.log("bzz");
});

workbench ( PowerShell, , VS), . , " " ( , , , -).

"dotnet-gulpify"

google, , Gulp , ( ). , , project.json(, , , ). , , - , .

?
