Laravel NPM causing ELIFECYCLE

Question

I'm trying to run "npm run dev" with my Laravel project. But this keeps ending up in an error "ERR! code ELIEFECYCLE"

I've basically tried a lot of different solutions... Tried everything in this one: laravel npm run dev ERR! code ELIFECYCLE Failed at the @ development script

and even followed the link in that post with no luck. I've been pulling my hair out trying to solve this...

Deleted nodes-modules A LOT. And reinstalls of NPM. Force cleared the cache. Different webpack versions and so on.. But if i try different versions I get an error saying it doesn't match API scheme version.

So now. I'm looking here for some answers/help.

This is from my command line after I ran "npm run dev"

This is now solved.. I solved it by downgrading Node.js to 10.15.3 from 12.1.0

Answer 1

First: check your node.js version Write: $ node -v

Make sure that your node.js version is up to date to the latest

If your version is cool then do the following:

• Step 1: $ npm cache clean --force

• Step 2: Delete node_modules by $ rm -rf node_modules , $ rmdir /S /Q node_modules (in windows) or delete it manually by going into the directory and right-click > delete / move to trash.

If you are not updating your packages you can delete the package-lock.json file too. $ rm ./package-lock.json or delete it manually by going into the file and right-click > delete / move to trash.

• Step 3: npm install

To start again, $ npm start

• step 4: npm run dev

This worked for me. Hopes it works for you too.

This is now solved.. I solved it by downgrading Node.js to 10.15.3 from 12.1.0 And started from scratch with NPM in my Laravel project.
