npm run production fails

[repat]

webpack.config.js:

require('./node_modules/laravel-mix/src/index');
Mix.paths.setRootPath(path.resolve(__dirname));
module.exports = require('laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js');

Problem is the rootPath, so create this file above in the root of your project and change package.json to:

cross-env NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --no-progress --hide-modules --config=webpack.config.js // <-- change --config

What it does is setting the rootPath relative to where you're running the command (__dirname) from and then loading the config file. Otherwise the config file has the wrong paths set and the whole process fails.

Maybe this helps someone

Thank you very much @repat - exactly what I needed!

@repat Thank you!, also you don't need the hooks in this repo with your method. you can just add a linked folder node_modules -> node_modules in the Deployment hooks tab.
