getting the following error This dependency was not found: FS

When I run npm run dev. I am getting the following error

ERROR Failed to compile with 3 errors 22:07:39

This dependency was not found:

  • fs in ./node_modules/vue-loader/lib/utils/normalize.js, ./node_modules/resolve/lib/sync.js and 1 other

To install it, you can run: npm install --save fs

Here is a copy of my configuration file.

I am using Laravel 5.4

let mix = require('laravel-mix');

/*

 */

mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');


mix.webpackConfig({

});

Here is my Package.json file

Looks like FS has been removed from npmjs.com, I'm guessing that's causing your issues.

I figured out what the issue was. The cause was I was loading vue-loader in the app.js file. Its fixed now. Thanks for the help. Late night coding wasn't thinking.

@Procat I've same issue with socket.io when I try to compile. What can I do to install websocket with webpack ?

Why has it been removed from npm?
