Hello I am learning laravel and I got this error
I am doing this commands

• composer require laravel/ui
• php artisan bootstrap --auth
• npm install
• npm run dev
• php artisan serve

it said manifest not found but when I check the name of the file is mix-manifest.json not manifest.json

Please tell me what is wrong and what I should do. I really appreciate your help! Thanks.

sorry, miss read the question

I think I followed the docs correctly, and somehow the problem still occurs sorry I forgot to mention Im using laravel 9

Probably because you have Mix installed, not Vite? AFAIK the swap to Vite happened somewhere during v9, so if your project was created before that, you need to manually migrate to it.

I would also advise you update Laravel, v9 is EOL: https://laravelversions.com/en

finally logged in, that was a hella long troubleshooting, and yeah, my JSON file was using Mix, so I changed it to Vite and added "type": "module" at the top of the JSON file according to https://github.com/laravel/vite-plugin/issues/279

I see, the reason I'm using laravel 9 is because my next semester is using laravel 9 in Web Programming subject
