Missing `dist-prod` folder in ExB Dev Edition 1.18

AndrewGilbert

In Experience Builder Developer Edition version 1.18, I notice the dist-prod folder is not created when I run npm run build:prod, and my builds are going to dist only.

In ExB 1.17, package.json has this:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "build:prod": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production OUTPUT_FOLDER=./dist-prod webpack --mode production",

But in ExB 1.18, notice that OUTPUT_FOLDER=./dist-prod is missing:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "build:prod": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --mode production",

I don't see any documentation of this change. Is it expected that now both the dev and prod builds go to the same location, and the dist-prod folder is obsolete?

@AndrewGilbert when you run npm run build:prod, the widgets are built to the dist folder, and the dist-prod will not be used anymore. The reason why we made this change is to support shared-code folder. We support only one shared-code folder, and it must be in the dist folder, so all widgets must be in the dist folder.
