~/src/foo $ gulp -v
[10:33:51] CLI version 0.1.3
[10:33:51] Local version 4.0.0-alpha.1

It also happens with latest gulp-cli 0.3.0 (gulp-cli is globally installed).

NOTE: Using local gulp 4.0.0-alpha.1 and global gulp-cli 0.1.3 worked fine until I upgraded gulp-cli to 0.3.0. Then the error above happended, but worse, once I reverted to 0.1.3 the problem still happens, so it may be due to an updated dependency within gulp-cli (just wondering).

npm install -g "gulpjs/gulp-cli#4.0" ?

Issue is now they don’t have a branch called “gulpjs/gulp-cli#4.0” now they only maintain the master. It can be solved by simply removing the old gulp-cli globally npm remove -g gulp-cli and reinstall it npm install -g gulp-cli. It will install the latest release tag which is 1.2.2
