Mix.env() in production no longer produces nil, but crashes Mix.State genserver
With Elixir 1.7.2/OTP21 Mix.env() no longer produces nil in production (i.e. inside release). Instead crashes because GenServer Mix.State isn’t running. I found a workaround in checking if Mix.State is running (Process.whereis(Mix.State) != nil) but surely Mix.env() should return nil, right?
** (EXIT) exited in: GenServer.call(Mix.State, {:get, {Map, :get, [:env, :dev]}}, 5000)
** (EXIT) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name, possibly because its application isn't started

Unless you have mix in your :extra_applications list, it simply should fail, as Mix.env/0 isn’t available.
If though you have it in your :extra_applications, it should properly return :prod…
So I’m not sure what your problem is.

Try replacing them with
if unquote(Mix.env() == :test) do
# ...
if these invocations are inside functions.
