[@loopback/build] - lb-tsc: not found. Because NODE_ENV = production

[sebacampos]

Describe the bug

Hi! In all examples @loopback/build is installed as dev dependency ---> npm i @loopback/build --save-dev

This causes issues with NODE_ENV=production (specially when trying to deploy the app) as dev dependencies are not resolved...

I fixed this by using npm i --include=dev in my Dockerfile. But I don't think that's entirely right...

What's the recommendation here?

Thanks in advance!

Dev dependencies are as the name implies for development, I am not sure why you would need @loopback/build during production but you have to add it to dependencies then. I asked a related questions on stackoverflow 4 years ago but I would generally just recommend to use docker to deploy your app to production which looks like is what you are doing.

If you can provide your Dockerfile and more details on why you need @loopback/build in production, I can give you some suggestions.
