Problem with endless gulp-inject loop during gulp.watch task (Gulp 4)

I am using Gulp 4 with some plugins (gulp-concat, gulp-imagemin, gulp-inject, and browsersync) and running a workflow like this:



const 
gulp = require('gulp'),
imagemin = require('gulp-imagemin'),
inject = require('gulp-inject'),
uglifyjs = require('gulp-uglify'),
concat = require('gulp-concat'),
browsersync = require('browser-sync')
del = require('del');

var from = {
src: 'src/**/*',
html: 'src/**/*.html',
css: 'src/**/*.css',
js: 'src/**/*.js',
font: 'src/assets/fonts/**/*',
img: 'src/**/*.{jpg,png,svg,gif}',
meta: 'src/**/*.{webmanifest,xml}'
};

var to = {
dist: 'dist',
html: 'dist/**/*.html',
css: 'dist/assets/css/',
js: 'dist/assets/js/',
font: 'dist/assets/fonts/',
img: 'dist/**/*.{jpg,png,svg,gif}',
meta: 'dist/**/*.{webmanifest,xml}'
};

function deldist () {
return del(to.dist)
};

// concat -> hoya.css
function styles () {
return gulp.src([
'src/**/!(main)*.css',
'src/**/main.css'
])
.pipe(concat('hoya.css'))
.pipe(gulp.dest(to.css))
};

// concat -> hoya.js
function scripts () {
return gulp.src([
'src/**/!(app)*.js',
'src/**/app.js'
])
.pipe(concat('hoya.js'))
.pipe(gulp.dest(to.js))
};

// imagemin -> copy
function images () {
return gulp.src(from.img)
.pipe(imagemin([
imagemin.jpegtran({
progressive: true
})
]))
.pipe(gulp.dest(to.dist))
};

function markup () {
return gulp.src(from.html).pipe(gulp.dest(to.dist))
};

function misc (done) {
gulp.src(from.meta).pipe(gulp.dest(to.dist));
gulp.src(from.font).pipe(gulp.dest(to.font));
done();
}

// inject css, cs, partial html -> copy
function inj () {
var css = gulp.src(to.css + '*.css', {read: false});
var js = gulp.src(to.js + '*.js', {read: false});
gulp.src([to.html, '!dist/assets/html/*.html'])
.pipe(inject(css, {relative: true}))
.pipe(inject(js, {relative: true}))
.pipe(inject(gulp.src('dist/assets/html/*.html'), {
starttag: '<!-- inject:{{path}} -->',
relative: true,
transform: function (filePath, file) {
return file.contents.toString('utf8')
}}))
.pipe(gulp.dest(to.dist))
};

function server (done) {
browsersync({
server: {
baseDir: './dist'
}
});
done()
};

function watcher (done) {
gulp.watch(from.js, gulp.series(scripts));
gulp.watch(from.css, gulp.series(styles));
gulp.watch(from.img, gulp.series(images));
gulp.watch(from.html, gulp.series(markup));
gulp.watch(from.meta, gulp.series(misc));
gulp.watch(from.src, gulp.series(inj));
done()
}

// delete dist -> copy assets -> inject
exports.build = gulp.series(
deldist,
gulp.parallel(
images, styles, scripts, markup, misc),
inj
);

// delete dist -> copy assets -> inject -> server
exports.default = gulp.series(

  1. deldist() - delete previous /dist directory


  2. styles() - concatenate all CSSs to a single hoya.css + copy to /dist


  3. scripts() - concatenate all JSs to a single hoya.js + copy to /dist


  4. images() - optimize all images + copy to /dist


  5. markup(), misc() - Copy all HTMLs, xml, webmanifest, and font files to /dist

  6. inj() - inject CSS, JS, and partial HTMLs inside /dist/assets/html/ to parent HTMLs


  7. server() - initiate server via browsersync



  8. watcher() Watching any assets (HTML, CSS, JS, Images) changes in /src/ and copy changed files to /dist




-



Problems:



During step 1 - 7 everything was running smoothly, until the watcher() function is not working properly without any error. If I change any files in /src, the inj() and server() respond, but the changed files not copied to /dist.



I tried to change the from.src to to.dist in function watcher() and produces endless loop with gulp-inject. Any ideas what might wrong? Thanks!

function watcher (done) {
gulp.watch(from.js, gulp.series(scripts));
gulp.watch(from.css, gulp.series(styles));
gulp.watch(from.img, gulp.series(images));
gulp.watch(from.html, gulp.series(markup));
gulp.watch(from.meta, gulp.series(misc));
gulp.watch(to.dist, gulp.series(inj));
done()
}

      1. deldist() - delete previous /dist directory


      2. styles() - concatenate all CSSs to a single hoya.css + copy to /dist


      3. scripts() - concatenate all JSs to a single hoya.js + copy to /dist


      4. images() - optimize all images + copy to /dist


      5. markup(), misc() - Copy all HTMLs, xml, webmanifest, and font files to /dist

      6. inj() - inject CSS, JS, and partial HTMLs inside /dist/assets/html/ to parent HTMLs


      7. server() - initiate server via browsersync



      8. watcher() Watching any assets (HTML, CSS, JS, Images) changes in /src/ and copy changed files to /dist

      Problems:



      During step 1 - 7 everything was running smoothly, until the watcher() function is not working properly without any error. If I change any files in /src, the inj() and server() respond, but the changed files not copied to /dist.



      I tried to change the from.src to to.dist in function watcher() and produces endless loop with gulp-inject. Any ideas what might wrong? Thanks!

      function watcher (done) {
      gulp.watch(from.js, gulp.series(scripts));
      gulp.watch(from.css, gulp.series(styles));
      gulp.watch(from.img, gulp.series(images));
      gulp.watch(from.html, gulp.series(markup));
      gulp.watch(from.meta, gulp.series(misc));
      gulp.watch(to.dist, gulp.series(inj));
      done()
      }






      gulp gulp-watch gulp-browser-sync gulp-inject
