Laravel Mix “sh: 1: cross-env: not found error”

问题

I have been trying to setup laravel mix on my project and followed the install guide on the laravel website however keep getting errors.

My package.json file is

I am running my project in a vagrant box and I am running laravel 5.4.

回答1:

You need to make cross-env working globally instead of having it in the project.

run

$ sudo npm install --global cross-env

回答2:

First check if cross-env module is installed. If not, run:

npm install cross-env

After that you need to go to the node_modules folder. Then find cross-env folder. Go inside and find cross-env.js.

In my case it was mode_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js

You need to change path to cross-env.js in scripts section in your package.json file.

{
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "watch": "node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "hot": "node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development webpack-dev-server --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "production": "node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
  },

........

}

回答3:

Run:

npm install

Then try again.

回答4:

There are couple of ways to solve this error.

Delete node_modules folder then do npm install again. if it doesn't solve then:
You can install as dev dependency by firing

npm install --save-dev cross-env

if it doesn't solve then:

Install cross-env globally as npm install --g cross-env It will install it in \Users\Roaming\npm modules. Then I suggest you can close your shell and open it again & fire the command.

if it doesn't solve then: - in Package.json you can use like:

node node_modules/dist/bin/cross-env cross-env ...

回答5:

If the solutions above didn't work, refresh node_modules using
rm -rf node_modules && npm install
this worked for me

回答6:

You do need to check if cross-env module is installed. If not, run:

npm install cross-env

But you need it to be recognized as a "command". Patching the path as proposed by the accepted answer (or is it?) led me further, but still gave me an error.

The solution for me was to reload vagrant "vagrant reload --provision", and reset my ssh / putty session.
