rewriteRules does not appear to work (2.7.13)

Running on Windows 8.1 64-bit in git-bash.

$ node --version

'use strict';

var gulp = require('gulp');
var browserSync = require('browser-sync');
var reload = browserSync.reload;


gulp.task('watch', ['serve'], function () {
    gulp.watch('./**/*.*', reload);
});

gulp.task('serve', function () {
    browserSync.init(null, {
        server: {
            baseDir: './',

        console.log('Started connect web server on ' + bs.options.getIn(["urls", "external"]));
    });
});

gulp.task('default', [], function () {

Any ideas? Really frustrating. It seemed to work a few times, but not globally.

@shakyShane That is great - I just wish that was in the documentation 😉

However, the issue was it only worked sometimes.

Anyway, I’m sure this bug will crop up somewhere else.

Thanks.

Finally got it to work by reading this article: https://vinaygopinath.me/blog/tech/url-redirection-with-browsersync/ I had to specify middleware directly as a function, as described in the article above. When middleware is defined as described in the documentation, as an array of objects, it doesn’t work (i.e. trying to redirect by setting req.url doesn’t work).
