cross-env doesn't exist anymore? npm webpack scripts fail

I’ve had a problem for a while where npm run dev works on my local machine but in travis-ci it’s blowing up. It did blow up on my machine in the past but I’d poked something and then it worked again. In the process of trying to figure out what was going on, I updated my local machine’s version of laravel-mix and then it broke on this machine too.

I updated laravel-mix and nuked dependencies, the problem persisted. Package.json:

{
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "node node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "watch": "node node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "hot": "node node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "production": "node node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.15.3",
    "cross-env": "^5.0.1",
    "jquery": "^3.2.1",
    "laravel-mix": "^1.0.7",
    "lodash": "^4.17.4",
    "materialize-css": "^0.98.2",
    "vue": "^2.3.4"
  },
  "dependencies": {}
}

No clue what a .babelrc file is, so I assume I’m not using a custom one.

• Laravel Mix Version: 1.0.7, but running the command npm list --depth=0 returns more errors than fit in my entire terminal history. Here’s a snippet:

• Node Version (node -v): v7.5.0
• NPM Version (npm -v): 5.0.4
• OS: Vagrant (laravel/homestead (virtualbox, 2.1.0) guest on Windows 10 host. All commands executed in the vagrant box via ssh.

Description:

cross-env appears to not exist anymore once laravel-mix is updated, causing all npm scripts to fail.

vagrant@homestead:/vagrant$ npm run dev

> @ dev /vagrant
> node node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --
config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js

Steps To Reproduce:

laravel new test cd test npm run dev

You have removed cross-env from your scripts but your scripts configuration is wrong.

"scripts": {
    "dev": "NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "watch": "NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "hot": "NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "production": "NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
  },

This should work for you. You got to remove the node and cross-env.

And if you are using npm v5, you got to delete package-lock.json before running npm install. There is a major issue with npm v5 where it deletes your packages when package-lock.json is present.

Okay, so that works… In vagrant but not in windows, which I suppose is the entire purpose of cross-env…
