Laravel mix - Versioning does not work

Question

I'm working on a fresh project using Laravel 5.6 using [email protected]. When I compile my assets using npm run production, they are not suffixed like they should

Note

Even when removing the if mix.inProduction() the versioning does not work

Questions

Am I the only facing this issue ? What should I do ?

webpack.mix.js

let mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
 .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
 .copyDirectory('resources/assets/images', 'public/images');

if (mix.inProduction()) {
  mix.version();
}

currently having same issue as well. (my laravel-mix is 2.1.14) – Squeteague

Answer 1

Laravel 5.6's mix works differently now. Instead of suffixing your compiled files with hashes, it now uses a url query in trying to access your assets.

Try opening your browser dev tools and look at how your page includes your assets. It will append an id param in the URL.

e.g. GET /js/app.js?id=<SOME_HASH_HERE>

So you do confirm that cache busting is working right ? – Intellection

Yes. To inspect it yourself, look at your browser's dev tools. – Squeteague

@LéoCoco NB: you must use <script src="{{ mix('js/app.js') }}"></script> instead of <script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}"></script> now to get correct resource URL with id. – Oxley
