NPM Run Dev on Windows

It appears that Laravel 5.4 is moving away form "gulp" and using a somewhat more pure "webpack" workflow.

HOWEVER it appears that the "dev" script for "npm run dev" assumes that anything ending in ".js" is runnable, specifically:

λ npm run dev

> @ dev c:\laragon\www\playground
> node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js

 'node_modules' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

To fix this I simply did:

λ node node_modules/cross-env/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js

...instead.

SIMPLY PUT:

Bug Appeared on: Windows (I happen to have Windows 10)
Happened in: Laragon environment (http://laragon.org - I'm on 2.1.16)
But is NOT related to Laragon: This seems to be because windows doesn't recognise ".js" files as executable [which is sort of fair enough].
Reproduce: Install Laragon or some sort of WAMP server, install Laravel and then run 'npm install' (or yarn install - whatever is your choice) and then try 'npm run dev'
Expection: webpack runs smoothly without a problem
Fix: See above.

I was afraid of this happening when I heard the news... Fuck iOS users, always screwing up window's development.

That fix is not working by the way, I get

I'm running mine in a "cmder" window with all of the "git bash" tools in my path - it's possible I have a setup that's a little more "unix-like" even though I'm Windows.
