Hi @ParveenMalethia

from the latest version you have to create the webpack.mix.js manually

The documentation is still for version 5.0, but npm is already distributing version 6. At the top right of the documentation you can change it to version 6 and then everything is correct again.

Hope I could help you :)

creating it manually works but then the whole file is empty all way. What to do about that. there's no code to work on!

hi @AjeyataVerma

In the documentation you can switch from version 5 to version 6 in the upper right corner, everything is described there.

Since there are changes in version 6, it is quite good to read the documentation at https://laravel-mix.com/docs/6.0/installation
