Unable to mix output .js file to the parent directory

• Laravel Mix Version: 1.4.5
• Node Version: 8.2.1
• NPM Version: 5.4.2
• OS: macOS 10.12.6

I’ve created a src folder within a WordPress themes directory for all build scripts, node modules, etc (so I can hide it when publishing to the server).

In that folder I have webpack.mix.js:

mix.sass('sass/style.scss', '../style.css')
	.js('js/script.js', '../script.js')

This publishes the style.css in the themes (parent) directory as required, but when I do the same for the script.js file it publishes it in the current src folder but creates a list of all folders from my system Users directory Users/jackbarham/Code/etc/.../etc/theme/src/script.js all the way to the output file.

I’ve tried altering paths, but I can’t get it to work or understand why it’s working for CSS but not JS.

I did sth like that and it’s working. mix.setPublicPath('../') .js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'js') .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'css');

This worked for me: mix.setPublicPath(‘…/parent-folder/’);
