I edited a component in my Laravel Forge - Linode server. The server has not reflected the component changes even after:
Change is already reflected in my local valet server that I use to push code from. (worked after an npm run install.)
I did an SSH and also tried to do npm run production or npm restart but there is an error :ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/forge/package.json' This is related to npm no being able to find a file.
Anything I'm missing here?
You don't need to run npm scripts normally on your production server. You do that locally and then push it to your production environment.
Your issue most likely has to do with caching. The changes are not visible because your assets might not be provided with a cache busting parameter.
Read more about that here: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/mix#versioning-and-cache-busting
