not failing when env variable not present

[af]

My guess is that because you're setting your own NODE_ENV validator, the devDefault logic might be confused here. Does it work as expected if you remove the NODE_ENV key from your cleanEnv() call?

Closing until the info above is provided

@af yes it works fine without NODE_ENV but based on my understanding it should work when setting NODE_ENV.

[veeramarni]

@af, basically found out that default: 'production' in the NODE_ENV validator is not working. But when i set NODE_ENV=productionexternally it was working as expected.

[af]

Hmm, yeah, NODE_ENV is treated specially by envalid and it's probably causing this side-effect unfortunately. Since it looks like you only have the custom validator there in order to accept a 'staging' value, maybe we could have a extraNodeEnvValues option that lets you provide other valid values for NOD_ENV.

@af Did you plan to add extranodeEnvValues so we add some additional environments values such as staging?
