Unable to compile from source - Cannot find module task-minify-js

[P1ll3]

Hello,

we are trying to compile JIRA 8.6.1 from source and several problems occured.

1.) We installed node.js and gulp. After doing some research we found out that the used version in JIRA source is still on version 3, so we changed the module from require('gulp') to require('gulp-v3') in gulpfile.js. The syntax of the gulpfile.js doesn´t match the one for gulp version 4. A lot of things have changed.

2.) After this the compile runs into errors because it cannot find the required gulp modules from atlassian:

Error: Cannot find module '@atlassian/jira-server-gulp-tasks/tasks/task-minify-js'

And probably the same problem will occur with task-transpile-js.

Can anybody help with this?

Thanks,
