Latest ionic-app-scripts version 3.1.4 not identifying NODE_ENV

I'm submitting a bug report

Current behavior: I was using Ionic app scripts 1.0.4 for my Angular 4 apps and it was able to identify the NODE_ENV set on Mac Command line; NODE_ENV=prod ionic cordova run android

But with the latest Angular version of 5.0.3 i am using 3.1.4. With this version of app scripts or even with 3.1.8 NODE_ENV always shows as undefined but if i go back to 2.1.4 it identifies the correct NODE_ENV as prod.

Expected behaviour: It should be able to identify the environment set through NODE_ENV

Related code: Note: One change between Angular 4 and 5 is, now i am using InjectionToken instead of earlier OpaqueToken.

import { InjectionToken } from "@angular/core"; export let EnvVariables = new InjectionToken("env.variables"); Here is my package.json file

And here is my Webpack.config file:

var path = require('path'); var webpack = require('webpack'); var ionicWebpackFactory = require(process.env.IONIC_WEBPACK_FACTORY);

module.exports = { entry: process.env.IONIC_APP_ENTRY_POINT, output: { path: '{{BUILD}}', publicPath: 'build/', filename: process.env.IONIC_OUTPUT_JS_FILE_NAME, devtoolModuleFilenameTemplate: ionicWebpackFactory.getSourceMapperFunction(), }, devtool: process.env.IONIC_SOURCE_MAP_TYPE,

            test: /\.ts$/,
            loader: process.env.IONIC_WEBPACK_LOADER
        },
        {
            test: /\.js$/,
            loader: process.env.IONIC_WEBPACK_TRANSPILE_LOADER
        }
    ]
},
plugins: [
    ionicWebpackFactory.getIonicEnvironmentPlugin(),
    new webpack.EnvironmentPlugin(['NODE_ENV'])
],
// Some libraries import Node modules but don't use them in the browser.
// Tell Webpack to provide empty mocks for them so importing them works.
node: {
    fs: 'empty',
    net: 'empty',
    tls: 'empty'
}
