What is the current behavior?

Files from resources/scripts/autoload/ are not being loaded by the import "./autoload/**/*" from main.js
I'm receiving an error on a fresh install. Nothing has been changed.

Here's the error I'm receiving in Terminal:
ERROR Failed to compile with 1 errors 8:35:29 PM

error in ./resources/assets/scripts/main.js

Module build failed: Module failed because of a eslint error.

/resources/assets/scripts/main.js
5:43 error Parsing error: Unterminated string constant

✖ 1 problem (1 error, 0 warnings)

What is the expected or desired behavior?

All files from resources/scripts/autoload/ should be loaded and for yarn build to be successful

Make sure you save resources/assets/scripts/main.js after introducing/removing files from autoload directory

NPM/Node version: Node: v10.6.0

Use a lower version of Node, Sage currently is not compatible with Node 10.x (#2067).

I would recommend using nvm to switch between Node versions — as mentioned in the NPM Debugging Guidelines Post in the issue checklist that you did not fill out. Use NVM to install and use the current LTS version of Node (nvm install lts/* then nvm use lts/*).

I received a similar error, however, in my case it was because I broke the Webpack config file.

This hasn’t seen any action in a while. I’m closing it for now but we can re-open if the issue is still current.
