Make nuxi prepare run with NODE_ENV set to "development" by default
Opened this issue · 0 comments
Why was the default mode set to production when running from the command line without setting the NODE_ENV env variable?
I'm talking about this line in the command:
Line 26 in bca75ab
Typically, in nuxt.config.ts
you might have logic like this:
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
config.modules?.push('@nuxt/eslint')
}
I need this to avoid installing the @nuxt/eslint
module when installing dependencies without development dependencies with pnpm install --prod
on the production server, because otherwise I get an error if I just specify the @nuxt/eslint
module in the modules section. I need this condition for that.
However, this condition does not work because I simply run pnpm postinstall
, process.env.NODE_ENV
is set to production
and as a result the ./.nuxt/eslint.config.mjs
file is not created for the module @nuxt/eslint
to work. There may be other things for development that don't work with other modules or don't generate types.
Besides, the .nuxt folder is needed exclusively for development, not for the production build. So why is it set to production by default, and not development?
