manifest.js is not created in the same folder as vendor.js

• Laravel Mix Version: 1.4.2
• Node Version (node -v): v6.10.3
• NPM Version (npm -v): 3.10.10
• OS: OSX

Description:

After upgrading to Laravel Mix 1.4.2 from 0.11.4, manifest.js is not created in the same folder as vendor.js. Instead, manifest.js was added to the folder where a javascript is built by js() function.

Steps To Reproduce:

webpack.mix.js:

mix.setPublicPath('app/public')
    .js('asset/js/test/test.js', 'js/test')
    .extract(['vue'], 'js/vendor.js');

webpack output:

       /js/vendor.js   82.4 kB       0  [emitted]  /js/vendor
    /js/test/test.js  72 bytes       1  [emitted]  /js/test/test
/js/test/manifest.js   1.38 kB       2  [emitted]  /js/test/manifest

I believe it was /js/manifest.js instead of /js/test/manifest.js in Laravel Mix 0.11.4.

This issue should be re-opened.

I found a workaround for this issue by creating an empty js file in js/empty.js and doing this:

mix.setPublicPath('app/public')
    .js('asset/js/test/test.js', 'js/test')
    .js('asset/js/empty.js', 'js')
    .extract(['vue']);

webpack output:

/js/test/test.js  72 bytes       1  [emitted]  /js/test/test
    /js/empty.js   5 bytes       1  [emitted]  /js/empty
   /js/vendor.js   82.4 kB       0  [emitted]  /js/vendor
 /js/manifest.js   1.38 kB       2  [emitted]  /js/manifest
