dotenv_values vs load_dotenv oddity #430

Open algaspar opened 1 year ago

algaspar commented 1 year ago

I set up a Django settings.py file to load RSA keys from a file into a dict with dotenv_values():

key_config = dotenv_values("path/to/file")

my_key = key_config['my_key'] my_key_id = key_config['my_key_id']

It worked fine in my original testing, but the next day it stopped working. I changed to using load_dotenv("path/to/file") and just having 'my_key' and 'my_key_id' as environment variables. That worked fine (and continues to work). I could not find any code changes and the file with my RSA keys remained the same in both instances.

Is there something that might have caused this behavior, or am I (likely) not seeing a change/typo in my code?

Thanks--

Al

I'm not aware of any change in our code that could have caused this. If you have more information about your environment, test file and the version of python-dotenv being used, that would be great.
