Is the webpack config compatible with Windows? about react-boilerplate HOT 7 CLOSED

I tried on my windows 10 machine. It's indeed not working. The issue lies with the scripts section of the package.json. There, start and serve break since it's not cross-platform. I get the following error:

'NODE_ENV' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I also got the following warning during npm install:

npm WARN install Couldn't install optional dependency: Unsupported

I followed advise from HK thread, and added the following dependencies:

"cross-env": "1.0.6"

I then replaced the package.json lines with:

"start": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node server.dev.js", "serve": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node server.prod.js"

It works great now.

@lwouis thanks so much for trying, any ideas on how to set the NODE_ENV in a cross-OS compatible way?

Yes, see my updated comment. Very easy fix actually :)

I don't know if it breaks the linux side though!

From what I remember - it's always an issue with setting the environment variables.
I wasn't aware of 'cross-env' so I solved it differently.
I added a script called 'win' that calls webpack without setting any environment variables and I created a batch file for Windows that calls SET in order to set the desired environment variable and then calls npm run win.

Did it with cross-env, as it worked for @lwouis. Fixed on master now, thanks so much for the help!
