.env.{stage} not being picked up during sst dev

[kmcaloon]

I have a NextJS app that needs to use some sst resources. When running sst dev -- next dev everything looks good, except it looks like sst.config.ts is only picking up environment variables from .env. Any other files like .env.local never get loaded. When I remove .env, sst then throws an error because the variables are missing.

From what I understand, is it not supposed to automatically work with .env.{stage} files?

I don't know if we properly supported this yet.

EDIT: I tested this with sst dev and sst deploy and it worked. Make sure your stage name matches the stage you are running on.

Ok thanks @jayair. I thought I had tried explicitly setting the stage. We ended up not actually needing it but I'm sure we'll need this functionality soon.
