env variable is not passed as first parameter to configuration function

[egmanoj]

Explain the problem

parallel-webpack is not passing an env parameter when configuration uses a function of the form:

module.exports = (env) => {
    console.log("env: ", env);  // Prints: env: {}
    return myConfig;  
} 

Expected Behaviour

A valid env should be passed as first parameter to the configuration function.

Actual Behaviour

env is an empty dictionary.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install parallel-webpack locally (using yarn, in my case)
2. Create a simple module with a configuration function of the form given above
3. Invoke as shown below:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/parallel-webpack --env.production=true

Provide your Environment details

• Node version: v8.12.0
• Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
• webpack version: 4.16.5
• parallel-webpack version: 2.3.0

It should work fine if you run your build using this command:
$ ./node_modules/.bin/parallel-webpack -- --env.production=true
The issue with that I run into is that I'm currently having build commands as part of package.json -> scripts which also need "--" to pass arguments. So I ended up having something like that:
npm run build -- -- --env.name=ci --env.brand=b1 --env.configBrand=b1 which looks bad.
So if you could make it work egmanoj described, then it would be easier to replace webpack with parallel-webpack when using CLI

I just hit this, is anyone working on it?
