Custom env file name

[radziszp]

Hello, as written in docs:

Note: By default the package look for a .env file in the path that you have started your server from. If you want to specify another path for your .env file, use the second parameter of ConfigModule.load().

I'd like to set different .env file for Test module. When i'm doing

ConfigModule.load(
  path.resolve(__dirname, 'config/*.{ts,js}'),
    {
      path: 'mypath/.env.test',
    }
)

I'm getting

error TS2345: Argument of type '{ path: string; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ConfigOptions'.

So, how should options parameter looks like?

Also is there a possibility, to extend in .env.test file values from default .env file, so wouldn't i have to duplicate code?

Thanks

I think I saw your question on stackoverflow ;)

That should be the correct behaviour. I'll add a test for this scenario and fix this issue.

Which version of nestjs-config are you using?

[radziszp]

Wasn't me, but glad i'm not the only one who couldn't fix it by himself :) I'm using v 1.2.9 Thanks! I'm looking forward for updates

[bashleigh]

so, update on this. There was a PR made recently where I was asked to change export ConfigOptions = {...} & EnvOptions to export interface ConfigOptions extends EnvOptions {...}. Changing it back to the latter seems to work, however I don't understand why the former doesn't work? https://github.com/nestjs-community/nestjs-config/pull/48/commits/aab42650a71d5ff9b9cb0e4b7cec57b27119f1ed#diff-11f5a2a5cc6df739d69a8a8c4f8ecffbR23

This should now be resolved in the next release :)

What shall I pass the path value?

// src/bootstrap.module.ts
ConfigModule.resolveSrcPath(__dirname).load('config/**/!(*.d).{ts,js}', { path: '.env.test' }),

# .env.test
DEMO=test

It doesn't load the file .env.test instead it loading .env. Seems the path options has been ignored.

@Diluka I think you need to add the full path. Try that and let me know how it goes. I shall have a think about whether to add a method to add the cwd path by default

emmmm it works now. just filename. ┓( ´∀` )┏
