Likely you need to install the latest version of Laravel Mix.

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

It will happen when your cache holds previous files.Clear the cache and install the npm again

npm cache clean --force

then:

npm install

npm fix audit

then:

npm run development

It is npm audit fix not npm fix audit – Literature

Answer 3

my problem was solved by following these steps

 npm install --g laravel-mix

npm install --g webpack-cli

Installing webpack globally is not recommended webpack.js.org/guides/installation/#global-installation. Note that this is [webpack global installation] not a recommended practice. Installing globally locks you down to a specific version of webpack and could fail in projects that use a different version – Favored

I resolved installing laravel-mix globally. Probably you should remove the 3rd line anyway – Jaleesa
