[BUG] usage of --env-file regressed from v2.27.0 to v2.27.1

[frederikhs]

Description

Docker Compose v2.27.1 ignores the use of --env-file such as docker compose --env-file .env.prod config to override variable for the compose project.

Steps To Reproduce

I have created a repository with a github action workflow that runs the comparison test i expect is the regression: https://github.com/frederikhs/docker-compose-env-file-regression-example

Probably fixed by #11889
Would you have a chance to test your reproduction example with a build fro HEAD ?

[frederikhs]

I have added a second job testing v2.27.0 against the latest commit to the default branch (commit id 1a14fcb) as of now. Seems like the issue is fixed. https://github.com/frederikhs/docker-compose-env-file-regression-example/actions/runs/9536725132/job/26283982723

What are the chances of a v2.27.2 release sometime in the near future?

After upgrade, when using docker compose --env-file .env environment variable COMPOSE_PROFILES in .env stop working :-(

Closing as "fixed on HEAD"
A new release should come soon-ish
