The Mix manifest does not exist when it does exist

PhpLaravelLaravel Mix

Php Problem Overview


For my admin panel I extract all the assets including the manifest-json.js to mix.setPublicPath(path.normalize('public/backend/')).

All the files get correctly added to the backend folder, and the manifest-json.js file looks as follows:

{
    // all correct here
    "/js/vendor.js": "/js/vendor.js",
    "/js/app.js": "/js/app.js",
    "/css/app.css": "/css/app.css",
    "/js/manifest.js": "/js/manifest.js"
}

the problem is that when using

{{ mix('backend/css/app.css') }}

in my blade-files, it looks in public/manifest-json.js instead of looking for it in backend/manifest-json.js.

How can I make sure the right manifest-json.js file is used?

Solution 1 - Php

I had same exception after deployment laravel project to server. It was working perfectly fine on localhost but after lot of research I found a solution. If you encounter this exception on server then you have to bind your public path to public_html

Just go to under the app/Providers, you will find your AppServiceProvider file and inside boot() method make the binding as below.

   $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
        return base_path().'/../public_html';
    });

i solved my problem running this command

npm install

and then

npm run production

Thank You.

The problem I faced was that the mix()-helper function by default looks for the manifest-json file in /public/manifest-json.js so if you store that file on any other directory level then it will throw that error.

Let's say the manifest-json file is stored in public/app/manifest-json.js, then for a file located in public/app/css/app.css you would use:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('css/app.css', 'app') }}">

The mix()-helper function allows for a second argument, the directory of the manifest file. Just specify it there and it will use the correct manifest file.

Solution 5 - Php

In shared hosts and laravel 5.6 tested: after doing standard levels such as explained here; two levels needed: in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php:

$this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
    return realpath(base_path().'/../public_html');
});

and in public_html file make .htaccess file with content:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
  ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

source: here this file most change for some situations.

that's all and solved my problem

I had the same issue with a Laravel package, its assets were not published:

This solved the issue for me:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=telescope-assets --force

Solution 7 - Php

There are 3 ways to solve it, I summarize what the colleagues said above:

The problem is because, you are using mix() in the views.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{  mix('dist/css/app.css')  }}">

solution 1 change it to this.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{  asset('dist/css/app.css')  }}">

solution 2 If you don't have root access:

Modify the App\Providers\AppServiceProvider file and add the following to the boot() method.

$this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
   return base_path().'/../public_html';
});

solution 3

if you have root access run:

npm install & npm run dev

Solution 8 - Php

try the following commands:

npm install

npm run dev

I have same exception after deployment laravel project to (shared) server when trying to reach the login and register page. It works fine on local machine.

I kept the file and folder structure the same as on my local environment (all files that our in the public folder locally are in the public_html folder on the server).

The solution mentioned above seems to work. Adapted to my file and folder structure I added the following code to AppServiceProvider file and inside boot() method.

$this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
return realpath(base_path().'/public_html');

});

The only issue now is that the CSS of the login, register and dashboard page is messed up. I'm totally new to Livewire, I have no clue how to fix that.

Solution 10 - Php

In a shared hosting environment, Remove the mix e.g. {!! script(mix('js/manifest.js')) !!}

should be changed to

{!! script('js/manifest.js') !!}

This actually works for me

Solution 11 - Php

I got the same error

because when I run

npm install
npm run dev

I got some error.

It was fixed when I updated my nodejs version.

Solution 12 - Php

I'm just posting maybe someone would need it. For me it's worked when I changed in my blade file css and js pointed path. As bellow:

In my blade was this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('dist/css/app.css') }}">

I changed the MIX to ASSET as:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('dist/css/app.css') }}">

Also the same on JS file to:

<script src="{{ asset('dist/js/app.js') }}"></script>

Solution 13 - Php

If it's the same thing for everybody, in my case laravel-mix seems to be not installed so without changing any files I just installed laravel-mix by running:

npm install laravel-mix@latest --save-dev

Solution 14 - Php

For bind your public path to public_html, in file index.php add this 3 lines:

$app->bind('path.public', function() {
   return __DIR__;
});

This is work for me on shared hosting

Solution 15 - Php

If you are having this issue with Laravel Nova or telescope then perhaps you are really missing mix-manifest file. You should have that file inside public/vendor/toolname/ Where toolname can be Nova or Telescope. If you have that folder, you should go ahead and put in your server otherwise you will first have to publish the assets & then put it on server.

Solution 16 - Php

Try to Add your public route to your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

public function register()
{
    $this->app->bind('path.public',function(){

    return'/home/hosting-name-folder/public_html'; 
        
    });
}

Solution 17 - Php

I change resources/layouts/guest.blade.php and resources/layouts/app.blade.php

    <!-- Styles -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('css')}}/app.css">

    <!-- Scripts -->
    <script src="{{asset('css')}}js/app.js"></script>

and resources/css and resources/js copy my public folder

The Mix manifest does not exist.

You can solve this problem by updating the node version.

actually when you run command npm run dev, show the error message "Error: You are using an unsupported version of Node. Please update to at least Node v12.14" so easily you can fix it by updating the node js version

Thanks

Solution 19 - Php

Solution 20 - Php

  • Directory Structure like this

    --- public 
       --- app
           --css
              --app.css
           --js
              --app.js
    
  • Import css js in laravel blade file like this

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('app/css/app.css') }}">
    
    <script src="{{ asset('app/js/app.js') }}" type="text/javascript"></script>
    

Solution 21 - Php

I resolved my problem by this command : npm install npm run dev

Solution 22 - Php

I had the issue on a shared host, where I was not able to run npm commands. Then I used the simplest way. In the /vendor/laravel/.../Foundation/Mix.php replace

i$manifests[$manifestPath] = json_decode(file_get_contents($manifestPath), true);   

to

$manifests[$manifestPath] = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://your-domain.com/mix-manifest.json'), true);

Not recommended, but it works. You can use it as your last try.

Solution 23 - Php

Faced the same problem on both Windows and Ubuntu. Solved it on Ubuntu (and I presume the solution is simillar in Windows). The problem was due to the fact that my installed npm version was too old.

The solution for me was the following. I installed nvm (NodeVersionManager -version 0.39.1) which allowed me to switch to the latest stable version of node (v16.14.0) and then install npm 8.5.0.

Detailed steps: Linux bash terminal commands:

  1. touch ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc ~/.zshrc ~/.profile
  2. sudo apt install curl
  3. curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
  4. logout and login Ubuntu user
  5. nvm --version
  6. nvm ls-remote
  7. nvm install 16.14.0
  8. node --version

...then inside the laravel project:

  1. npm ci
  2. npm install -g [email protected]
  3. npm audit fix
  4. npm run dev

Solution 24 - Php

Try out this one!!

 <script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}" defer></script>

It works for me

Solution 25 - Php

I found new solution

The problem is mix manifest right? So just redirect to the mix manifest feature. for example, you have:

{{ style(mix('css/backend.css')) }}

just change your code into

{{ style('css/backend.css') }}

it works for me
