gulp chown doesn't change owner -

i trying make build process, sort of, , seems gulp-chown doesn't give me correct results.

this run:

gulp.task('clientdeploy', function () {     return gulp.src('client/dist/**/*')         .pipe(chown('rf', 'rfids'))         .pipe(gulp.dest('/var/www/html/dashboard')); }); 

the gulp script runs root, obviously.

the result this:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0k jun 29 12:57 css/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0k jun 29 12:57 fonts/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0k jun 29 12:57 icons/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0k jun 29 12:57 images/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0k jun 29 12:57 js/ -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 8.3k jun 29 13:15 events-panel.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  20k jun 29 13:15 index.html -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 8.2k jun 29 13:15 main-panel.html 

i've read here on github problem might gulp.dest() doesn't read file's metadata, , uses user runs command.

has ever come across , solved it?

it bug in vinyl-fs. when writes file disk, honors file.stat.mode (where file vinyl file object) ignores values of file.stat.uid , file.stat.gid.

it looks has been fixed in code base of vinyl-fs afaik there no release yet contains fix.

someone in bug report linked mentions having cloned gulp-chown don't think that's necessary. change file ownership after gulp.dest has done work:

import gulp "gulp"; import es "event-stream"; import fs "fs";  gulp.task("build",           () => gulp.src("src/**/*")             .pipe(gulp.dest("build"))             .pipe(es.map((file, callback) => {                 fs.chown(file.path, file.stat.uid, file.stat.gid,                          (err) => callback(err, file));             }))); 

you see i'm using file.stat.uid , file.stat.gid. goal preserve ownership source file has. (yeah, because vinyl-fs not this default.) can put uid , gid want there.
