An alternate environment file so Docker compose

[vladdevops]

Hello,

I had an issue when working with a container through Sail, where the variables from .env.local were not being passed, even though the variable "APP_ENV=local" was set.

I received the following warning message: "WARN[0000] The "VAR_NAME" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string."

I may have been using "./vendor/bin/sail" incorrectly. Here's my "sail" file located in the root directory of my project:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

export APP_ENV=local
./vendor/bin/sail "$@"

This fix resolves the issue.

Perhaps there is another solution that doesn't involve modifying the library. I would appreciate it if you could share any alternative solutions.
