symfony: environment specific .env.local or .env.test not loaded when running command
Symfony version(s) affected: x.y.z
symfony/dotenv v4.1.4 symfony/framework-bundle v4.1.9
Description
I have made the changes as advised in https://symfony.com/doc/current/configuration/dot-env-changes.html#updating-my-application
If I try and run a command such as
APP_ENV=dev php bin/console doctrine:database:create -n
It does not load the variables from .env.local it uses the ones from .env instead
How to reproduce
Follow instructions in https://symfony.com/doc/current/configuration/dot-env-changes.html#updating-my-application to create config/bootstrap.php and update public/index.php
create the following .env files .env .env.local .env.test
Possible Solution
I also tried running as
php bin/console doctrine:database:create -n --env=test
but no joy
Additional context
If I try and run this command
APP_ENV=dev php bin/console doctrine:database:create -n
It does not load the .env.local
I also tried
APP_ENV=local php bin/console doctrine:database:create -n
Also the .env.test is not used if I run
APP_ENV=test php bin/console doctrine:database:create -n
However, the following DO clear the caches for the correct environment
APP_ENV=dev bin/console cache:clear APP_ENV=test bin/console cache:clear
I have tried restarting Apache

@xabbuh Christian, is it necessary nowadays (6.1) to modify
bin/console
file? Or does Symfony perform it internally?I’m also not getting
.env.local
automatically. I would need to edit the entry files to get it eventually working.Did you also update the
bin/console
file?Indeed. Also I would say that although I did ‘try’ to follow the instructions. I would say it’s not clear that the linked bootstrap.php file is only for 4.2 users. There is no diff linked for .bootstrap.php as far as I can see. It just says “(note: in an earlier recipe, this file was called src/.bootstrap.php).” Maybe it should say specifically any recipes earlier than 4.2? I didn’t have this file in my 4.1 version of the app, so I assumed it wasn’t applicable.
hmm, maybe you took the version of bootstrap.php applying only to Symfony 4.2+, which got cleaned from the fallback. See https://github.com/symfony/recipes/blob/master/symfony/framework-bundle/3.3/config/bootstrap.php for the file applying to 3.3+
