I keep getting an error even after setting the .env file with the LI_AT_COOKIE variable #31

Even after setting the LI_AT_COOKIE variable I keep getting this message. Anonymous session strategy is no longer maintained and it won't probably work. It is recommended to use an authenticated session, see documentation at https://github.com/spinlud/linkedin-jobs-scraper#anonymous-vs-authenticated-session. I'm not sure if I am placing the .env file in a wrong place. But is there a specific place where the file should be placed at? I'm placing it right at the root of the project. But is this correct? Thanks for help!

You should source your env file manually or use some package like https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv

I was able to get it to work by using the package you recommended. Thank you! But what exactly did you mean with sourcing the env file? As you can see, I have an env file in the root of my project.
