[BUG] DevDependancy are installed in production when also marked as peerDependenciesMeta optional about cli HOT 3 CLOSED

@saziri-arrow I could see that, There might a typo in the command you are running npm install --omit-dev, can you try changing it npm install --omit=dev ?

for me the behaviour seems correct.

for this package.json which resembles your test case

{
  "name": "rep",
  "version": "1.0.3",
  "peerDependencies": {
    "lodash": "4.17.21"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "lodash": "4.17.21"
  },
  
  "peerDependenciesMeta": {
    "lodash": {
      "optional": true
    }
  }
}

As you can see from the log the lodash is missing after running npm install --omit=dev

~/workarea/rep $ npm install --omit=dev

Hello @milaninfy thank you for your fast answer! Indeed I made a mistake in my first explanation... I edit it and now the problem appears with --omit=dev still. Please test again
