Laravel 5.4 / Laravel Mix Node.js version

[artemverbo]

Hi there,

Tried to bump one of the projects to 5.4 and use the new Laravel recommended way of assets management (Laravel Mix, purely based on Webpack, with no Gulp at all).

Seems like that requires newer versions of node/npm than currently available here.

laravel-mix/laravel-mix#62

That's what I can currently see:

node v5.12.0
npm  v3.8.6

So assume it needs at least 6 and above...

UPD: Fixed temporary by adding this as a step in bitbucket pipelines, but I believe currently used nodejs install could be replaced with that in the Dockerfile.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

It throw above error

Thanks you @artemverbo and @newbie2005
I modified nodesource.list in /etc/apt/source.list.d

replace:

deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_5.x trusty main
deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_5.x trusty main

to

deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x trusty main
deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x trusty main

then apt-get update && apt-get install -y nodejs.

node v8.9.1
npm 5.5.0

Can be in the repository a file package-lock.json? Different versions on different servers.
There was a similar problem with the version node and npm tried different. The Laravel mix module did not take the necessary dependencies.

http://joxi.ru/l2Znal0FwPEX82 - not laravel-mix dependencies
http://joxi.ru/brREVQ7fJPYD7A
(There are no modules in the folder)
remove package-lock.json
http://joxi.ru/a2XadKMC1BD3QA good (latest version node and npm).

Maybe you have this same stupid mistake. It is necessary to work with the same versions, but there are also such situations.

Could not compile the script on the servers (the old OP, the node required a new gcc, and that required a bunch of dependencies, the old node and npm did not work), they started using gitlab ci. Tried to run on local windows, linux mint, linux ubunta - all is well!
