if(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') always false : <p>When trying to build an angular-webpack application by running the build command from this scripts list on the package.json:</p>

<pre><code>"scripts": {
    "test": "NODE_ENV=test karma start",
    "build":  "if exist dist rd /s /q dist &amp;&amp; mkdir dist &amp;&amp; set NODE_ENV=production &amp;&amp; webpack &amp;&amp; cp app/index.html dist/index.html",
    "start": "webpack-dev-server --content-base app"
  },
</code></pre>

<p>this is the result on the console : </p>

<pre><code>$ npm run build

    &gt; webpack-ng-egg@1.0.0 build M:\Learning webpack\egghead.io - AngularJS - Angula
    r and Webpack for Modular Applications\webpack-ng-egg
    &gt; if exist dist rd /s /q dist &amp;&amp; mkdir dist &amp;&amp; set NODE_ENV='production' &amp;&amp; webp
    ack &amp;&amp; cp app/index.html dist/index.html

    process.env.NODE_ENV  : 'production'
    process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ????  : false

<p>this is how looks like the webpack.config.js file :</p>

<pre><code> var webpack = require('webpack');
    var path = require('path');
    var config = {
        context: path.resolve(__dirname, "app"),
        entry:'./app.js',
        output: {
            path : __dirname + '/app',
            filename:'bundle.js' // il ne sera pas généré dans le code, juste en mémoire
        },
        plugins:[
            new webpack.DefinePlugin({
                ON_TEST:process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test'
            })
        ],
        module:{
            loaders: [
            {
              test: /\.js$/,
              exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
              loader: 'babel', // 'babel-loader' is also a legal name to reference
              query: {
                presets: ['es2015']
              }
            },
             { test: /\.css$/,
               loader: "style-loader!css-loader",
               exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/
             },
            {
              test: /\.html$/,
              exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
              loader: 'raw', // 'babel-loader' is also a legal name to reference
            },
            {  test: /\.styl$/,
               loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!stylus-loader',
               exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/
             }
          ]
        },
        devServer:{
            //contentBase:path.join(__dirname, 'dist') // ceci est juste un exemple, si dist est l'endroit ou on aurait généré les fichiers
            inline:true, // les mises à jour de style ne sont plus affichés instantnément avec cette option donc j'ai ajouté le watch:true et çà marché!!!
            watch:true

        }
        /*resolve: {
            extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx', '.css']
        },
        resolveLoader: {
            root: require('path').resolve(__dirname, "node_modules")
        }*/
    }

    console.log("process.env.NODE_ENV  : " + process.env.NODE_ENV);
    console.log("process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ????  : " + (process.env.NODE_ENV == 'production'));
    //config.output.path = path.resolve(__dirname, "dist");
    //console.log("config.output.path  : " + config.output.path);


    if(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
        console.log("this is the prod env!!!!!!!!!!");
        config.output.path = path.resolve(__dirname, "dist");
    }

    module.exports = config;
</code></pre>

<p>the problem here is that when testing <code>(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production')</code> it never returns true even that it's supposed to be (see what is logged on the console above). I have tried to chage to a simple equality instead the strict one but still get false all the time.</p>
