In a react project

An environment file named as .env.uat is located at ./env.
In the environment file, there's a variable with dollar sign value. Eg: REACT_APP_TEST=${TEST}
The "start" script is having the following command, "env-cmd -f ./env/.env.uat react-scripts start".
Run the "start" script as follow, "TEST=HELLO npm run start".
However, the value shown in the app is "${TEST}", instead of "Hello".
