Laravel-datatables: buttons.server-side.js 404 not found

Created on 15 Nov 2019 · 2Comments · Source: yajra/laravel-datatables

Summary of problem or feature request

I have a fresh install of Laravel 6.5.1.
I have followed the guide at https://yajrabox.com/docs/laravel-datatables/master/quick-starter
Once i load the users list page, i have the following error:
GET http://apple-inhouse-distribution-site.test/vendor/datatables/buttons.server-side.js net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
Screenshot 2019-11-15 at 11 26 48

in the vendor directory i can not find datatables folder and obviously i can not find also the file buttons.server-side.js.
I can find buttons.server-side.js under vendor/yajra/laravel-datatables-buttons/src/resources/assets/buttons.server-side.js
