I tried setting up the least possible setup for gulp-connect. It shows the following in the terminal window: `Server started http://localhost:8080`. However it doesn't start Chrome as expected and seen in this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KURMrW-HsY4).

```
var gulp = require('gulp'),
    connect = require('gulp-connect');

var outputDir = "wwwroot";

gulp.task('connect', function() {

 connect.server({
    root: [outputDir],
    open: {browser: 'Google Chrome'}
})});

```
