Minified JS file not appearing in JS directory

Hi,

After following along with the video (and running gulp minifyScripts) I am unable to view app.js in my JS directory. I can see gulp-uglify in my devDependencies (...in the package.json file), so I know that uglify has been installed correctly. I also ran http-server -p 3000, refreshed the page, and cleared my recent history.

What could be wrong?

Thanks!

Woo hoo! The 2nd time around turns out to be a charm.

I had somehow either forgotten to add or save/require uglify in my gulpfile.js file and I had a silly typo in my package.json file:-)
