i've search and tried various ways from various websites including here such as:

solution 1)

• delete node_module folder or by $rm -rf node_modules
• delete package-lock.json
• npm clear cache --force
• npm install

solution 2)

• npm install -g cross-env

solution 3)

• npm cache verify

solution 4)

• npm install webpack@latest

solution 5)

• replace cross-env with 'node' or 'set' in package.json
• or putting the dist before /bin in package.json

solution 6)

• npm update

i'm out of option and solution. is there another way to solve this?

p/s: i read something about the ram of server ran out or something like that. does it have anything to do with my error?

Answer 1

this is a workaround, not an actual fix. the solution was to change the webpack version. i had the latest version of 4.26.0. apparently, mix doesn't work well with v4.

• npm i webpack@3.1.0

i got the solution from here: When running npm run dev getting this error dep.getResourceIdentifier is not a function #1610

can't believe i spend >10 hours trying to fix this only to find myself the answer minutes after i post it online -_-
