npm run hot not working

[zaitebaki]

I installed the latest version of Laravel (now 5.8) and enter two commands:

npm install
npm run hot

and get page-error on http://localhost:8080 -

Cannot GET /.

I get this error in all my laravel-projects, when I use npm run hot. Other commands such as npm run development, npm run watch work as needed.
My OS - Windows 7.

Help;-)

@footballman17 if you try http://localhost:8080/mix-manifest.json, that should work.
There is no default index page being server from the webpack dev server, which is why you'd get that error.

Add this to a webpack.mix.js file:

let mix = require('laravel-mix');

mix.webpackConfig({
    devServer: {
        proxy: {
            '*': 'http://localhost:8000'
        }
    }
});

Run the backend server (php artisan serve) and then npm run hot. This will proxy all frontend requests to the backend so files can be processed correctly. More information here.

With that said, npm run hot should work without developer modification.
