Answer 1

This worked for me (on Windows 10):

1. Add the following lines into your scripts in the package.json file:

   "dev": "npm run development",
   "development": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
   "watch": "npm run development -- --watch",
   "watch-poll": "npm run watch -- --watch-poll",
   "hot": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
   "prod": "npm run production",
   "production": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --no-progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
   

2. Make your devDependencies looks something like this:

   "devDependencies": {
       "axios": "^0.18",
       "bootstrap": "^4.0.0",
       "popper.js": "^1.12",
       "cross-env": "^5.1",
       "jquery": "^3.2",
       "laravel-mix": "^2.0",
       "lodash": "^4.17.4",
       "vue": "^2.5.7"
   }
   

3. Remove node_modules folder

4. Run npm install
5. Run npm run dev
