Env variables in remote configuration files

[MaheshkumarSundaram]

Hi @neonexus,

In the config, we have our environment variables in the subfolder env as per the NODE_ENV. They are all created and used for our convenience right! They aren't looked up default by Sails unless we ask it to.

Webpack uses these variables to builds the assets for prod. No doubt in that.

But when we lift our Sails using npm run lift:prod, does config/env/production.js get used by Sails. It isn't right?
How do we ask Sails to use it while lifting?

Thanks

npm run lift:prod should indeed use the production config; it is "the same thing as sails lift --prod or NODE_ENV=production node app.js".

If you have a config/local.js, that overrides everything; including the production configuration.

Ah ok. Thanks
