Dist folder is not created after building vue js project - vue.js

Question

I tried to run the npm run build command on my vue project. It is successfully running but no dist folder is created. I want to build this project and run it on the server. I am currently working on Windows OS.
I tried to compare it with other project's webpack file but found no difference.
var path = require('path')
var webpack = require('webpack')
module.exports = {
entry: './src/main.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist'),
publicPath: '/dist/',
filename: 'build.js'
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [
'vue-style-loader',
'css-loader'
],
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: [
'vue-style-loader',
'css-loader',
'sass-loader'
],
},
{
test: /\.sass$/,
use: [
'vue-style-loader',
'css-loader',
'sass-loader?indentedSyntax'
],
},
{
test: /\.vue$/,
loader: 'vue-loader',
options: {
loaders: {
// Since sass-loader (weirdly) has SCSS as its default parse
mode, we map
// the "scss" and "sass" values for the lang attribute to the
right configs here.
// other preprocessors should work out of the box, no loader
config like this necessary.
'scss': [
'vue-style-loader',
'css-loader',
'sass-loader'
],
'sass': [
'vue-style-loader',
'css-loader',
'sass-loader?indentedSyntax'
]
}
// other vue-loader options go here
}
},
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
exclude: /node_modules/
},
{
test: /\.(png|jpg|gif|svg)$/,
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: '[name].[ext]?[hash]'
}
}
]
},
resolve: {
alias: {
'vue$': 'vue/dist/vue.esm.js'
},
extensions: ['*', '.js', '.vue', '.json']
},
devServer: {
historyApiFallback: true,
noInfo: true,
overlay: true
},
performance: {
hints: false
},
devtool: '#eval-source-map'
}
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
module.exports.devtool = '#source-map'
// http://vue-loader.vuejs.org/en/workflow/production.html
module.exports.plugins = (module.exports.plugins || []).concat([
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
NODE_ENV: '"production"'
}
}),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
sourceMap: true,
compress: {
warnings: false
}
}),
new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
minimize: true
})
])
}
This is my webpack config file. Please help me with this.

Try to check is there a folder created in where the webpack config file located.If there's not , it seems something wrong with your other configs, you can try this out, it works fine for me in project:
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../dist'),
filename: 'build.js',
publicPath: './static'
}
