Laravel-mix: Error when version and mix.copy functions are present: no such file or directory, open '/public/resources/views/admin.blade.php'

[Leshgan]

• Laravel Mix Version: 1.7.2
• Node Version: 8.8.1
• NPM Version: 5.6.0
• OS: Mac OS 10.13.3 (High Sierra)

Description:

I use version() when in Production mode
if (mix.inProduction()) { mix.version(); }
And I need to copy one template:
mix.copy('./frontend/admin/dist/index.html', 'resources/views/admin.blade.php');

When I run npm run dev - it's ok.
But when npm run prod I got error

``` DONE Compiled successfully in 25411ms 22:34:42

fs.js:648
return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
^

If I comment code mix.version(); there are no errors
But if I comment only mix.copy('./frontend/admin/dist/index.html', 'resources/views/admin.blade.php'); there are no errors too!

Thus, I think mix.copy() somehow influences to version() function.
Issue #939 doesn't work for me.

Hi @Leshgan,

Looking through the API, the version implementation doesn't directly influence the copy method but more interesting is that the public path is being forced upon this to path only when version is used. That said, simply telling Mix where the root for the to path is should solve the issue.

mix.copy('./frontend/admin/dist/index.html', './resources/views/admin.blade.php');

This should prevent the error from occurring.

@cshawaus thanks for the answer, but this fix doesn't take any effect.

@Leshgan , I'm not sure if this helps, but I was running into a very similar issue. This fixed it for me.

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

mix.setPublicPath('_site');
mix.js('assets/js/script.js', '_site/assets/js')
  .sass('assets/scss/main.scss', '_site/assets/css')
  .version()
  .setPublicPath(__dirname) // Reset the public path before copying
  .copy('_site/mix-manifest.json', '_data/')
;
