Hi I have a web app built over the Aurelia CLI. To fix a performance problem (that I addressed here) I updated to the latest version of Aurelia (0.30.1, which fixed the performance issue). To do so, I had to update other npm packages, forcing the semver to the latest versions available using the npm-check-updates package first
npm install -g npm-check-updates
ncu --upgrade
npm update
npm install babel-runtime --save-dev
npm install timers-ext --save-dev
npm install gulp-sourcemaps --save-dev
npm install aurelia-pal --save-dev
npm install aurelia-binding --save-dev
npm install aurelia-templating --save-dev
this is my aurelia.json file

I have now a problem. If I run
au build
or
au run –watch
I have no problem. If I run
au build –env prod
to create the app- and vendor-bundle-[identifier].js, I don’t get any errors, but both files end up created empty, or rather just with “undefined” in them.
Node.js version: 6.11.2 (current latest stable)
NPM version: 3.10.10
Does anyone have an idea? Does it have to do with the minification mechanism (which in dev does not happen)
How can I debug / log what is going wrong?
UPDATE:
I have activated minifying also for the dev environment in the aurelia.json file, this is what I got

If I activate minification for dev, it doesn't work either, giving the error I pasted above. If I also remove sourcemaps, it doesn't work (undefined by both bundles) but no error message.
