Watching less also cleans js directory

[benplum]

• Laravel Mix Version: 0.12.1
• Node Version (node -v): 8.0.0
• NPM Version (npm -v): 5.0.0
• OS: OSX

Description:

If a less file is saved during a watch run, js files are not re-compiled and simply removed leading to 404s in the browser. I'm also noticing the 'Chunk names' for my js and css are the same, despite the css being output to a different directory:

Asset	Size	Chunks			Chunk Names
public/js/app.js	1.76 MB	0	[emitted]	[big]	public/js/app
public/js/vendor.js	895 kB	1	[emitted]	[big]	public/js/vendor
public/js/manifest.js	5.83 kB	2	[emitted]		public/js/manifest
public/css/app.css	154 kB	0	[emitted]		public/js/app
mix-manifest.json	272 bytes		[emitted]

Here's my webpack.mix.js:

const { mix } = require('laravel-mix');

mix.options({
  processCssUrls: false
});

mix.js('assets/js/app.js', 'public/js/app.js')
   .extract(['vue', 'lodash', 'axios'], 'public/js/vendor.js');

mix.less('assets/less/app.less', 'public/css/app.css');

Rolling back to 0.11.4 keeps the files in tact when watching.

We must have raised this at the exact same time! Relates to #844

Same issue with sass/scss. Rolling back to 0.11.4 does indeed work.

Mix 1.0 automatically fixes this. Will be tagged later this week.
