Why doesn't Gulp create files when running tasks on Windows 8?

Question

gulp.js

I ran into a problem when working with Gulp.js on Windows 8, all tasks work, folders are cleared before assembly, but files are not created, i.e. scripts, styles.
There are no errors in the console, everything seems to be working fine.
What could be the problem?
On Ubuntu the same project works fine, the files are created

gulp.task('scripts', function () {
   return gulp.src('assets/js/**/*.js')
       .pipe(concat('all.js'))
       .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

I tried the slash option, everything is the same, and + does not create folders either

Answer 1

The problem was solved in this magical way:

1. Created a project folder via Terminal
2. Installed all dependencies

Answer 2

In general, I fell for the same problem, for a long time I could not understand why this was happening. I hope it helps someone:
It's about the path on which the folder lies. I had this error on win10 if there were Russian characters and the sign "[ or ]" in the path to the work folder
