Node dependency installation fails during Laravel Reverb setup

JsExpertCoder commented 1 month ago

Reverb Version

@beta

Laravel Version

^11.9

PHP Version

^8.2

Description

When installing Laravel Reverb via the php artisan install:broadcasting command, the installation process fails at the Node dependency installation step. The error message indicates a missing script: "build". This issue prevents the completion of the broadcasting setup. Additionally, neither the package.json file nor the node_modules folder is created during this process.

Steps To Reproduce

Create a new Laravel project:
```
laravel new project_name
```
Run the broadcasting installation command:
```
php artisan install:broadcasting
```
Choose to install Laravel Reverb when prompted.

Observed Behavior:

The installation proceeds until the Node dependencies are being installed. The process stops with the following error message: npm ERR! Missing script: "build" npm ERR! npm ERR! To see a list of scripts, run: npm ERR! npm run

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: parth_to_logs WARN Node dependency installation failed. Please run the following commands manually: npm install --save-dev laravel-echo pusher-js && npm run build.

Expected Behavior:

The Node dependencies should be installed successfully, and the broadcasting setup should complete without any errors.

the reason is the Breeze starter kit which excludes or doesn't even bring the "package.json" and "node_modules", so the node dependency installation fails during Laravel Reverb configuration
