[webpack-cli] Error: spawn Unknown system error -86

Maintainer’s note:

For now use mix.disableNotifications() to silence the error. This is an issue with a dependency we use and M1 Macs.

---

I build a project laravel + vuejs in macos. I follow the steps:

laravel new blog cd blog composer require laravel/ui php artisan ui vue npm install && npm run dev and then asked for the following

       Additional dependencies must be installed. This will only take a moment.

	Running: npm install vue-loader@^15.9.7 --save-dev --legacy-peer-deps

	Finished. Please run Mix again.

I run : npm install vue-loader@^15.9.7 --save-dev --legacy-peer-deps finally i run the following command ‘npm run dev’ . always get below error:

I just had the same issue after I set up a new MacBook. After I executed softwareupdate --install-rosetta and restarted the terminal it instantly worked.

I got this problem on an m1 16 inch macbook.
