Laravel Mix not recognising trailing comments eg "/*!".... Vue.js

Question

$ npm run dev works fine

but $ npm run production, although its been working for months, now it does not recognise the "/*!" at the end of the compiled javascript lines to comment out the code eg

/*! <- this is the line not being recognised * Vue.js v2.4.2 * (c) 2014-2017 Evan You * Released under the MIT License. */

This line is at the end of the compiled line. It can be fixed manually by returning it to a new line, but how can I get mix to automate it again?

Error =

Tried: $ rm rf node_modules && npm clear cache && npm install

Using node v7.5.0 npm v4.1.2

package.json {

devDependencies mix ^0.6.0, "babel-core": "^6.23.1", "babel-loader": "^6.3.2", "bootstrap-sass": "^3.3.7"

}

Updated npm packages Ultimately I think 'npm update vue' fixed it
