Adding Files to mix-manifes.json, Versioning Extra Files

• Laravel Mix Version: 0.8.3
• Node Version (node -v): 7.5.0
• NPM Version (npm -v): 4.1.2
• OS: MacOS 10.12.3

I’d like to call some JS and CSS on only on a few specific pages. I’m achieve this by using Blade @stack() and @push(), however, simply using copy() does not add these files to mix-manifes.json. This causes Laravel to throw an error when adding the files via {{ mix('myFile.ext') }}. (I guess I could not use mix(), but I feel like I should be.)

The only way I have found to add these files to mix-manifes.json is to version them. Is there another way to tell Mix to add files to the manifest?

This process lead me to the compile error below… am I doing something incorrect?

Description:

Versioning copied extra files throws an error when having a clean public folder. Error does not occur if the file exists from a previous non-versioned build.

mix.js('resources/assets/js/wfl.js', 'public/js')
   .extract(['fluidvids.js', 'jquery', 'vue'])

   .copy('node_modules/flatpickr/dist/flatpickr.js', 'public/js')
   .copy('node_modules/flatpickr/dist/flatpickr.css', 'public/css')

   .copy('node_modules/slick-carousel/slick/slick.js', 'public/js')
   .copy('node_modules/slick-carousel/slick/slick.css', 'public/css')

   .sass('resources/assets/sass/wfl.scss', 'public/css')

   .copy('resources/assets/fonts', 'public/fonts', false)
   .copy('resources/assets/images', 'public/images', false)

   .sourceMaps()
   .version(['public/css/flatpickr.css', 'public/js/flatpickr.js', 'public/css/slick.css', 'public/js/slick.js']);

Steps To Reproduce:

1. have a clean public directory
2. copy a css or js file to your public directory via copy()
3. version that file

I’m pushing an update to allow you to do this.

Hey @JeffreyWay, this is working great, thanks!

The workflow seems to copy the file to the destination as specified in your webpack.mix.js and then make a copy of that file to version it, leaving two files in the target directory. Would it be possible to have it trash the unhashed file at build?
