Laravel mix scripts not watching changes - laravel

Question

Im using webpack to run a watch on .js files being changed, but I need to use wildcards instead of specific file names for my project. I'm currently using the commands below and it works fine and compiles all the expected files when I run npm run watch, but it will never run again after I make a change directly in any of the files. I have to stop watching and re-run the same command again and again. Is there something I am missing?
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.scripts([
'resources/js/vendor/**/*.js',
'resources/js/modules/**/*.js',
'resources/js/plugins/**/*.js'
], 'public/js/site.js');
Package file:
{
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"dev": "npm run development",
"development": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",

Edit your package.json file - change this:
"watch": "npm run development -- --watch",
To this:
"watch": "node_modules/.bin/webpack --watch --watch-poll --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
