Angular 6.4.1 environment builds not working

Question

So trying to do 'npm run ng build --configuration=production' and trying to get it to use the FileReplacements in my angular.json to replace the environment.ts file with environment.prod.ts

I am using following versions:

"@angular/animations": "^8.0.0-beta.12",
"@angular/cdk": "~7.3.7",
"@angular/common": "^8.0.0-beta.12",
"@angular/compiler": "^8.0.0-beta.12",
"@angular/core": "^8.0.0-beta.12",
"@angular/forms": "^8.0.0-beta.13",
"@angular/material": "^7.3.7",

When I run the command above to set configuration of build, in the dist folder, I am still seeing the URL referenced in environment.ts not the environment.prod.ts in the main-es5.js file.

src/environments/environment.ts

export const environment = {
  production: false,
  baseUrl: 'http://0.0.0.0'
  
};

src/environments/environment.prod.ts

export const environment = {
  production: true,
  baseUrl: 'http://1.1.1.1'
};

If anyone sees anything I am doing wrong please let me know. Having to change the URL and other variables is a pain every time I do a build. Thank you!

Running npm run ng build --configuration=production will NOT pass extra arguments to the ng build task. It'll just call ng build

If you want to build for production, you can use ng build --configuration=production

Note: if you really want to use npm run ... to build for production, you need to change the way you sens parameters, as explained here and use -- to separate arguments to send to the task

npm run ng build -- --configuration=production
