why create two process?

[Mia]

• cross-env version: 5.2.0
• node version: 10.4.1
• npm (or yarn) version: 6.1.0

Relevant code or config
package.json scripts:

"build-test": "cross-env ENV=test nuxt build",

What you did:

"build": "nuxt build",  // only one process

"build-test": "cross-env ENV=test nuxt build",  // have two process

What happened:

Problem description:

I want to use cross-env modify environment, when I execute npm run build-test command, it will create two process, why?

[Rafael Rocha]

Because your actually calling the nuxt build again. It's a matter of package.json script scoping. just use "build-test": "cross-env ENV=test build". Since build is already defined above.

Did it solve the problem?

You have one process to run cross-env and cross-env spawns another process with the right environment variables set. There's no other way to do this I'm afraid.
