problem with laravel and vue.js | Error: Cannot find module

Question

I recently got this error whenever I install vue in laravel using the following commands:

composer require laravel/UI
PHP artisan up vue
php artisan ui vue --auth
npm install && npm run dev

I get this new error and its the first time that happened to me:

 Error: Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/rules/DescriptionDataMatcherRulePlugin'

and I tried to make a new laravel project and didn't work.

Answer 1

Finally, i have the solution,

1- Delete the node_modules folder using the file explorer and delete package-lock.json as well.

2- Run npm install command.

3- Run npm run dev or npm run watch for auto mix when ever change made.
