Production dependencies are not satified

[AndresCidoncha]

Using the Vue_Starter package, npm install --production doesn't install the required dependencies.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Clone this repo
2. Open a terminal in the Vue_Starter folder
3. Run npm install --production
4. Run npm run build

This steps are supposed to build the web with only production dependencies (defined in dependencies section of package.json) but the last step fails.

$ npm install --production

> opencollective postinstall || exit 0

Hi @AndresCidoncha
Thanks for the input... but there must be some kind of misunderstanding. It doesn't work that way.
devDependencies are necessary to run build scripts.

All production required modules inside node_modules go to dist\static\js\vendors during the build.

[AndresCidoncha]

Maybe I misunderstand the concept of the --production flag... But if devDependencies are used to build the final product, what's the point of calling this flag --production?

Sorry about the no-issue 🙏

[xidedix]

We don't use --production flag. Probably other build systems do.
