gulpfile.js

var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

elixir(function (mix) {

    mix.sass('app.scss');

    mix.scripts([
        'jquery/dist/jquery.js',
        'bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js'
    ], 'public/js/vendor.js', './resources/assets/vendor/');

    mix.scripts([
        '**/*.js'
    ], 'public/js/app.js', './resources/assets/scripts/');

    mix.version([
        "css/app.css",
        "js/vendor.js",
        "js/app.js"
    ]);

I found one answer here: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/217 And it works for me when using this command on Linux: echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
