Production build on Netlify not respecting NODE_ENV

[arnigunnar]

Hi all, I am having issues on one of my Netlify sites, where I am building the tailwindcss and minifying as well.

This is my tailwind.config.js

console.log('=> env', process.env.NODE_ENV);
module.exports = {
  purge: {
    content: ['./src/**/*.md', './src/**/*.liquid'],
  },
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  variants: {},
  plugins: [],
};

Log from Netlify:

11:01:27 AM: > npx tailwindcss build ./css/tailwind.css -o ./_www/css/allstyles.css
11:01:28 AM:    tailwindcss 1.8.8
11:01:28 AM:    🚀 Building: css/tailwind.css
11:01:28 AM: => env Production
11:01:32 AM:    ✅ Finished in 3.36 s
11:01:32 AM:    📦 Size: 2.28MB
11:01:32 AM:    💾 Saved to _www/css/allstyles.css

I am console.logging the NODE_ENV in the tailwind.config.js file, and on Netlify it's set to Production. On my dev machine, if I set the enabled purge option to true, I get a production version of the CSS, so that seems to work.

Anyone have any ideas ... ?
