Laravel-mix: Undefined index when using copy/copydirectory

[ghost]

• Laravel Mix Version: 1.4.5
• Node Version: v6.10.2
• NPM Version: 3.10.10
• OS: windows 10 xampp

Description:

Undefined index when using copy/copyDirectory and {{ mix() }}

Steps To Reproduce:

Create 2 folders in resources

/css/afolder/afile.css
/css/another/anotherfile.css

Copy the folders with the following:

mix.copy('resources/assets/css/', 'public/css', false);

or

mix.copyDirectory('resources/assets/css/', 'public/css');

The files are copied fine, but when using

{{ mix('css/afolder/afile.css') }}

or

{{ mix('css/anotherfolder/anotherfile.css') }}

It returns back

Undefined index: css/afolder/afile.css 
Undefined index: css/anotherfolder/anotherfile.css 

The folders exists:

public/css/afolder/afile.css
public/css/anotherfolder/anotherfile.css

Mix manifest just shows the following

{
    "/js/app.js": "/js/app.js?id=0eaf1649511b8f1c3fd9",
    "/css/app.css": "/css/app.css?id=a86d86d0b7edd1152cc6"
}

Full webpackmix file

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

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

mix.copy('resources/assets/js/', 'public/js', false);

mix.copy('resources/assets/css/', 'public/css', false);

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

mix.version();

Reproduced.

This must have been fixed in a recent release. I can't reproduce it.

Sorry @JeffreyWay but we still have the same issues with images. Using latest 2.0.0.

mix.
     .copyDirectory('resources/assets/images', 'public/images')


if (mix.inProduction()) {
    mix.version()
}

We then use mix() as following:

<link rel="icon" sizes="16x16" href="{{ mix('images/favicons/favicon-16x16.png') }}"/>

The mix manifest just shows:

{
    "/js/app.js": "/js/app.js?id=4d4adb1ecd45c9e6af16",
    "/css/app.css": "/css/app.css?id=39a14b6a464d27ce2a27",
    "/js/app.js.map": "/js/app.js.map?id=38cbd20b0967c37610cc",
    "/css/app.css.map": "/css/app.css.map?id=36e0e21066d820711b49",
    "/js/vendor.js": "/js/vendor.js?id=ce086365ece891130e34",
    "/js/vendor.js.map": "/js/vendor.js.map?id=7e23c32966c385d7a6bc",
    "/js/manifest.js": "/js/manifest.js?id=a8218688e07c2d564723",
    "/js/manifest.js.map": "/js/manifest.js.map?id=6a2c4d42cbcdcf3ef0de"
}

According to the documentation, you have to specify these 'extra' files or folders you may want versioned.

Versioning Extra Files

The mix.version() will automatically version any compiled JavaScript, Sass/Less, or combined files. However, if you'd also like to version extra files as part of your build, simply pass a path, or array of paths, to the method, like so:

mix.version(['public/js/random.js']);

Hey, first of all, thanks for your work on this Jeffrey, Laravel Mix is great.

I'm having the same issue. After a bit of debugging, I can see that the main problem is the helper function mix() which doesn't handle a file not being set in mix-manifest.json which results to ErrorException (E_ERROR) Undefined index: ....

I have tried several ways to make this work using mix but I was not successful but I personally think that Laravel's mix() helper function should handle undefined index.

But this issue seems to be related to both parts. So to summarise:

• Laravel mix should probably generate versioning when copying files/folders which doesn't seem to work in some cases
• Laravel's mix() should handle undefined index in a better way. I will create an issue regarding this.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!
