I am installing a Laravel project (version 6.17.1) on a Docker Toolbox instance on a Windows 10 machine. Inside my Docker instance, I can run composer install fine, and npm i fine, but when I run npm run dev, but initially, I was getting error about cross-env:
sh: 1: cross-env: not found
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! file sh
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! @ development: `cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js`
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the @ development script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
I then installed cross-env manually, and now I know that this node module has been installed, as in my node_modules folder I can see a cross-env folder - however, the error message persisted.
Looking at some other answers, I can see that I may need to alter my package.json file - the scripts initially looked like this:
"scripts": {
"dev": "npm run development",
"development": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"watch": "npm run development -- --watch",
"watch-poll": "npm run watch -- --watch-poll",
"hot": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"prod": "npm run production",
"production": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --no-progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
},
Following florencebib's example, my package.json now looklike:
{
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"dev": "node node_modules/cross-env/src/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",
"watch": "node node_modules/cross-env/src/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"watch-poll": "node node_modules/cross-env/src/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --watch-poll --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"hot": "node node_modules/cross-env/src/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"production": "node node_modules/cross-env/src/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
},
"devDependencies": {
"axios": "^0.19",
"bootstrap": "^4.0.0",
"cross-env": "^7.0.2",
"jquery": "^3.2",
"laravel-mix": "^5.0.1",
"lodash": "^4.17.13",
"popper.js": "^1.12",

"sass-loader": "^8.0.0",
"vue-template-compiler": "^2.6.11"
},
"dependencies": {
"font-awesome": "^4.7.0"
}
}
As I have updated package.json, I run rm -rf node_modules rm package-lock.json yarn.lock npm cache clear --force, install the node modules and once more try to run dev, but now I am getting the following error:

Other things that I have tried before getting to this point:
- npm install --save-dev cross-env
- npm i cross-env -g
- npm rebuild
- deleting and reinstalling node modules
- clearing cache
- using Yarn instead of npm
Have I done something wrong to cause a memory leak? Or am I going the wrong way about this? Any advice appreciated.
Update your Nodejs to the latest version.
Delete the "node_modules" folder then run the following commands
