Dotenv: Fails with create-react-app npm run build

Created on 2 Feb 2018 · 1Comment · Source: motdotla/dotenv

npm run build/yarn build does not work in create-react-app apps, when dotenv is a dependency, but npm start (no minify, dev server) works.

https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#npm-run-build-fails-to-minify

"Some third-party packages don't compile their code to ES5 before publishing to npm. This often causes problems in the ecosystem because neither browsers (except for most modern versions) nor some tools currently support all ES6 features. We recommend to publish code on npm as ES5 at least for a few more years."

> yarn build
yarn run v1.3.2
$ react-scripts build
