Hopefully this'll be temporary, or even rejected over a better solution. To quickly summarize: Some npm devDependencies are required for the frontend build steps, and it doesn't seem to be documented that development node environment is required in order for make to work.
Longer explanation:
Due to some dependencies, like
webpack-cli
for example, being required to build the project whilst still being in the devDependencies of thepackage.json
file, the project fails to build if someone has their default NODE_ENV set to production instead of development.As of writing this, if NODE_ENV is set to production, eslint fails first, due to at least missing
eslint-config-airbnb-base
. Then webpack fails due to missing webpack-cli. Then stylelint fails. And lastly, postcss is missing.
