Laravel-mix: Cannot find module: cross-env.js

[jpriceonline]

• Laravel Mix Version: 0.8.3;
• Node Version: v7.6.0;
• NPM Version: v4.1.2
• OS: macOS Sierra

Description:
When running npm run dev or yarn run dev (tried with both using fresh installs) get the following error below. Tried a bunch of stuff including:

• Going back to version 0.8.1 and 0.8.3, same error is present
• Went through a bunch of the issues which people have previously submit and had no luck.

I had the same problem. The error says it can't find the module "node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js". If you check the directory is actually "node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js". What you can do is change that directory on the scripts on package.json. Or another thing that worked for me was to change "node node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js" on the scripts for simply "cross-env" just like @JeffreyWay does it in this repo.

cross-env must have updated its paths, it has "cross-env/dist/bin" not "cross-env/bin/"

in package.json
(EDIT)

"dev": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/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/dist/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",
"watch-poll": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --watch-poll --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"hot": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/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/dist/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"
