The following paragraphs show stuff that bypasses mix’ environment system. Before you do apply this technique to your problem you should be sure, that there is no other solution! Also the snippet has been obfuscated a bit. Whoever uses this shall think about it.

And if you want to have automatic compilation of the docs in the publish stuff, you could do something like this:

def alias(_), do: []
def alias(:publish), do: [doc: [&doc_dev/0]]

def doc_dev(), do: System.cmd("mix", ["doc"], env: [{"MIX_ENV", "dev"}])

This should build your documentation by shelling out into a sub shell which has MIX_ENV set to :dev.

This is untested though. You need to test it by yourself.
