Laravel Elixr copy method not working

I am trying to copy some js files, using elixr, from my vendor/bower_components folder, but when running gulp they don't copy across.

elixir(function(mix) { mix.less('app.less')
  .copy('underscore/underscore.js', 'public/js/vendor/underscore.js'); });

No error is given by gulp. 

[14:12:58] Using gulpfile ~/Public/balloonprinting_l5/gulpfile.js
[14:12:58] Starting 'default'... 
[14:12:58] Starting 'less'...

Solution

  • You need to specify full source path:

    elixir(function(mix) { mix.less('app.less')
  .copy(
    'bower_components/underscore/underscore.js', 
    'public/js/vendor/underscore.js'
  ); 
});

    As you can see I added bower_components/ to source path, this is default bower packages folder.
