When I execute this node.js application...
if(process.env.ENV_ARG === "someValue") {
console.log("conditional works...");
} else {
console.log(`ENV_ARG => ${process.env.ENV_ARG}`);
}
with the following script...
"scripts": {
"dev": "SET ENV_ARG=someValue && node index.js"
},
the output is:
ENV_ARG => someValue
I can't understand why the if statement evaluates to false.
When the contents of process.env.ENV_ARG
are logged in the else-block, they should be accessible for the if statement above...at least I thought so...
Thanks in advance

It's a matter of spacing. There is a space that gets included at the end of the environment variable.
One way to work around it is the following:
"scripts": {
"dev": "SET ENV_ARG=someValue&& node index.js"
},
