Laravel-mix: Mix incompatible with Webpack 2.3.0?

[voydz]

• Laravel Mix Version: 0.8.8
• Node Version (node -v): 7.6.0
• NPM Version (npm -v): 4.3.0
• Yarn Version: 0.21.3
• OS: Mac (Sierra)

Description:

It seems that mix is incompatible with the 2.3.0 release of webpack. I ran a yarn install --force to clean up my obsolete dependencies, which behind the curtains upgraded webpack to version 2.3.0
(just released a few minutes ago, https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v2.3.0).

The real problem is, that every fresh installation of mix will not work without rolling webpack back to a 2.2.x version (See reproduce steps).

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Take a fresh laravel (mix) project
2. yarn install
3. node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js -v should return 2.3.0
4. npm run dev
5. Fails with error:

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
 - configuration.output.path: The provided value "public" is not an absolute path!

Second this, had to lock webpack to 2.2.1:

    "devDependencies": {
       ...
       "webpack": "2.2.1",
       "laravel-mix": "^0.8.1",
       ...
    }

For anyone else wondering how to take advantage of that fix, you can edit your package.json and make sure your larave-mix version is 0.10 or higher:

  "laravel-mix": "^0.10.0",

Then run npm update.

adding "laravel-mix": "^0.10.0" in package,json file fix the issue on my end
