feathers js - cannot access correct config file

[hhchow7]

2 files are created in /config.

local.json

{
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3030,
    "env": "local",
    "msg": "Hi I am local"
}

dev.json

{
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3030,
    "env": "dev",
    "msg": "Hi I am dev"
}

Whenever the application runs, it should log something like info: Feathers application started on http://localhost:3030 in Hi I am dev, which "local" is the env variable in config file.

index.js

/* eslint-disable no-console */
const logger = require('./logger');
const app = require('./app');
const port = app.get('port');
const msg = app.get('msg');
const server = app.listen(port);

process.on('unhandledRejection', (reason, p) =>
  logger.error('Unhandled Rejection at: Promise ', p, reason)
);

server.on('listening', () =>
  logger.info('Feathers application started on http://%s:%d in %s', app.get('host'), port, msg)
);

I tried to set NODE_ENV=dev, but every time I run the application by nodemon --legacy-watch ./src, it shows:

info: Feathers application started on http://localhost:3030 in Hi I am local

but I am expecting

info: Feathers application started on http://localhost:3030 in Hi I am dev

I tried to log process.env.NODE_ENV, but it shows dev correctly

app.get('env') is always set by Express to process.env.NODE_ENV. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34227216/process-env-vs-app-getenv-on-getting-the-express-js-environment

So what is the right way to access dev.json?

I updated the question and add field msg, would you mind taking a look?

After I remove local.json, it works perfectly but I don't think it's the correct behaviour. What is the right way to do it?
