Mix manifest not found on Laravel 9 - vite

Question

I have a problem when I run npm run build and it says the mixin manifest cannot be found. This happens when I run in production.

My npm -v is 9.1.2 and running laravel 9, with "php": "^8.0.2".

Has anyone encountered this problem?

I've tried any suggestions for updating npm and still get this error.

Try running npm install && npm run build.

If you are using Laravel Forge, you can edit the deployment script like this:

cd /home/forge/default
git pull origin $FORGE_SITE_BRANCH

$FORGE_COMPOSER install --no-interaction --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader

( flock -w 10 9 || exit 1
    echo 'Restarting FPM...'; sudo -S service $FORGE_PHP_FPM reload ) 9>/tmp/fpmlock

if [ -f artisan ]; then
    $FORGE_PHP artisan migrate --force
fi

npm install
npm run build
