Codeception: Laravel5 doesn't load configured `environment_file`

What are you trying to achieve?

Load in a testing env file when using the Laravel5 module.

What do you get instead?

Only the normal env file is loaded. If we update the bootstrap/app.php from Laravel with a check for testing and force a load of the testing env file things work as expected.
