DOES NOT WORK

[qcuong96]

I try to use this lib by add in the main function and print to test it. However the result is empty even I define something in .env file This is the main.dart

Future main() async {
  await DotEnv().load(); // already try load('.env')
  print(DotEnv().env); // result is {}
  runApp(MaterialApp(
    debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
    title: 'EPOWER MOBILE APP',
    home: FlaskScreen(),
  ));
}

This is the .env file

BASE_URI=test.com.vn

Hi thanks for creating the issue. Have you defined .env as an asset to bundle in the pubspec?

Add the .env file to your assets bundle in pubspec.yaml

  assets:
    - .env

What version of flutter are you using?

Facing the same issue.

Hi again, it is working perfectly fine. My mistake was I had created the .env file in the lib directory. Instead it needs to be outside of lib in the root of the project. @qcuong96, verify that you are not making the same mistake.

For the record (don't know why) but with version 1.20 of Flutter loaded assets can't be in the root dir and must be inside a folder, for example assets folder. I was a experiencing a similar issue and moving the dotenv file inside the assets folder make the trick for me. Also remember that now the load() method should have the path too. Ex.: await DotEnv().load('assets/.env');

Hope it helps

Thanks for this @hazzo I will try this out and confirm the issue then update the usage docs accordingly

Running on 1.22 on root folder whatsoever

I'm having the same issue. I've tried having .env in root as well as an assets folder (with the appropriate changes to pubspec.yaml and the load method). It also gives the same empty object/map if I don't have an .env file at all, though. I did make sure to stop and rebuild between all changes, not just hot reload. Is there anything cached in the build files that could be causing it? I'm very new to flutter and gradle.

To me is the same as @hazzo , only works with .env in assets folder, would like to have in the root. Flutter version 1.22.0

It works fine guys. I guess that you're not putting all pieces together correctly.

First of all I would guess that you're misplacing assets in the pubspec.yaml. It has to go like flutter: > assets: > - .env into structure. Then it doesn't matter if you call DotEnv().load('.env') or DotEnv().load()

Both pubspec.yaml and lib/main.dart has to be in sync. Assets has to be set and placed correctly.

Had the same issue, and this worked for me

[java-james]

Have verified working in root on latest flutter. Thanks for the reply @Must4che. Suggest reading his comment above if you are experiencing this issue.

[java-james]

have clarified some instructions in 3.0.0. Please reopen if this is still an issue in the latest release.
