mix.version() raise error

• Laravel Mix Version: #.#.# (npm list --depth=0)

├── cross-env@5.0.5
└── laravel-mix@1.4.5

• Node Version (node -v): v8.6.0

• NPM Version (npm -v): 5.3.0

• OS: OSX El Capitan ( 10.11.6 )

Description:

My webpack.mix.js file contents:

const mix      = require('laravel-mix');
const min      = Mix.inProduction() ? '.min' : '';

mix.version();
// mix.sourceMaps();

 mix.js(`src/index.js`, `dist/index.js`);

When I add mix.version(); it raise error, but if i remove mix.version(); its works fine 😃

Error when mix.version(); used:

fs.js:653
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^
