JS files are not being minified on build about storefront

[nefeline]

Hi there @vijuarez , thanks for reaching out to us!

I'm not able to reproduce this issue over here, when running npm run build the minified js files are added as expected:

Did you run both composer install and npm install before triggering npm run build ?

Hi @nefeline, thank you for looking into this!

I double checked my environment, and both packages from composer and npm are installed. Some ideas:

1. Can you try deleting the minified files, and then building? They should reappear on build, if I understand the script correctly.
2. Could you figure out where npm_package_assets_js_src is defined?

Thanks.

Hi @vijuarez - before running npm run build, try running nvm use, npm install and then npm run build. In case you don't have nvm. Here is more information on that https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

Hi @roykho, you are right! Switching to Node v14.21.1 solved the issue.

I'm still having this issue, even with Node v14.21.1. I use NVM (nvm use in the storefront directory) when building, and it does indeed spot the .nvmrc and use the correct version of Node, yet minified files are not generated for me. I have tried with a handful of different NPM versions as well.

Between each build attempt I clear my working directory completely, clean NPM cache, and clone the theme repository again.

The NodeJS ecosystem is a mess.

And the only reason I need to build my own theme in the first place is that I want to change the breakpoints (see #991).
