Laravel-mix: V4.1.3 always wants to install additional dependencies

[ndberg]

• Laravel Mix Version: 4.1.3
• Node Version (node -v): 10.15.3
• NPM Version (npm -v): 6.9.0
• OS: ubuntu 18.04.2 (laravel/homestead)

Description:

Since version 4.1.3, when calling npm run dev, laravel mix always wants to install additional dependencies, without telling which ones. It finishes, but it's en endless loop.

output:

vagrant@fotogecko:~/code$ npm run dev

> @ dev /home/vagrant/code
> npm run development


> @ development /home/vagrant/code
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js

        Additional dependencies must be installed. This will only take a moment.

        Running: npm install  --save-dev --production=false

        Okay, done. The following packages have been installed and saved to your package.json dependencies list:

        Finished. Please run Mix again.

Same problem

Same issue here. Also with run dev and watch. Probably caused by this commit from July 16th. Using 4.1.2 for now.

Quadruple this

It started this morning for me as well but I'm _not_ on the latest version. Here's my versions:

node - 10.15.3
npm - 6.4.1
laravel-mix - 4.0.7
osx - 10.14.3

I even tried making my webpack.mix.js file as minimal as possible but still get the same issues.

This must have been related to the collection rewrite. Patched just now in 4.1.4. Apologies!
