I am also having this problem on Mac OS X. I recently upgraded node to v18.7.0.

I am having this problem as well. Originally we thought this had to do with the fact that the files we were changing were in node_modules, and we had to remove the default ignore of node_modules in watchOptions under Mix 6. Doing so makes it appear like files are being updated when they're changed, but the files are never actually run through js()/sass() and the resulting output never changes. It does work the first time, and npm run prod works every time.

Did you guys find a solutions for this?

@marcelaerts I found one that I'm not super enthused about, but which does appear to work for the time being. If you disable webpack's cache with code like this one:

mix.webpackConfig({
    cache: false,
    // ... Continue on with your own code
})

It will compile your own assets as well as any changes you make within node_modules. As expected it ramps the time up, and in our case since we have some pretty hefty dependencies in node_modules (Bootstrap 5, others) it increases the watch recompile from something like 5-10 seconds to closer to 30 seconds, but it's better than having to hit npm run dev every time we make a change.
