Description:

Hi,
Trying to use hot module reload with vue. I get "Cannot GET /" when browsing to localhost:8080. I've rebooted, updated brew (node), npm and such. For information I have Valet set up on my machine.
I reference my scripts and css via mix blade helper.

Thanks very much for the hard work to make our lives easier !

Steps To Reproduce:

`
laravel new hot
cd hot
yarn
npm run hot

browse to http://localhost:8080
Error : 'Cannot GET /'
`

What is your configuration in webpack.mix.js?

I left it unchanged as I wanted to eliminate a potential error on my part.

let mix = require('laravel-mix');

mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
