Wrong type for parameter `envPath` in @std/dotenv `load`

[eikooc]

Describe the bug

The type for the parameter envPath in @std/dotenv load is currently a string, but it also accepts a URL which is actually the only way to make it load included files in a compiled deno application, so the type should be expanded to be string | URL

Steps to Reproduce

1. import { load } from '@std/dotenv'
2. call load({ envPath: URL('config', import.meta.url) })
3. Get a type error

Expected behavior

Expected to be able co use a URL for the parameter envPath.

Environment

• OS: NixOS
• deno version: 2.2.11
• std version: 0.225.3 (latest version)

Is this accurate? You should be able to read the config with:

import { load } from "@std/dotenv";

const envVars = await load({ envPath: import.meta.dirname + "/config" });

You might be right @kt3k. I just couldn't get it to work, it might be a bug or me not knowing how to do it. I've created a small example with a README that you can try running https://github.com/eikooc/workspaces-file-read

hmm it looks like the compiled binary is unhappy with the path including ... If I made this change to the project, it seemed to start working.

This looks like a bug of deno compile to me, instead of std/dotenv

I think that part is a bug of deno compile as well. But allowing URL to work for the envPath still makes sense I think because the functionality works, it's just the type that doesn't reflect that you can give it a URL.
