Answer 1

I had the same problem in a m3 pro max, I excluded the gulp notify from my gulp dev and production scripts in order to continue and plugin... so I ended up like this:

.pipe(notify({
  message: pumped("Fonts Moved"),
  onLast: true
}))

You will not have the notifier but you may want to use this:

var exec = require('child_process').exec;

Gulp exec will notifiy you by saying font dev mode ready, for example:

// Include this at the start of the script
var exec = require('child_process').exec;

// ...your code here 

// in module exports, add this before the return
exec('say fonts dev mode ready', function (err, stdout, stderr) {
  console.log(stdout);
  console.log(stderr);
});
