'ELEVENTY_PRODUCTION' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Hi Greg,

Thanks for putting this together.

I'm new to this, so apologies if the answer to this problem is obvious (I tried searching online but couldn't find anything).

I just downloaded the repo to my computer and am getting this error when running 'npm run build':

'ELEVENTY_PRODUCTION' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'NODE_ENV' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! @ build: ELEVENTY_PRODUCTION=true eleventy & NODE_ENV=production postcss styles/tailwind.css --o _site/style.css
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the @ build script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Any idea why?

Sorry if this is a silly question!

Thanks.

Looks like a problem on Windows. : / I haven’t used Windows in years. I’m afraid I can’t help. : (

No worries Greg.

If it helps anyone else on Windows, I was able to set up 11ty + tailwind just following the basic instructions on their home sites.

Then adding the following under "scripts" in package.json:

"build": "postcss css/tailwind.css -o _site/css/tailwind.css"

Running "build" in the terminal pushes tailwind.css (which you create when setting up Tailwind) into the _site folder (so your website build can use it)... I think through postcss, but I have no idea!

It's working though :)

Yes Windows. I had to remove the ENV stuff to make it work.

Yes Windows. I had to remove the ENV stuff to make it work.

run:

npm install --save-dev cross-env

change into:

package.json

"build": "cross-env ELEVENTY_PRODUCTION=true eleventy && cross-env NODE_ENV=production postcss styles/tailwind.css --o _site/style.css"

This project should add cross-env into devDependencies as I mentioned above
