Answer 1

I actually solved the problem by un-commenting the line
Dotenv::load(__DIR__.'/../'); in bootstrap/app.php.

So that it actually loads it before compiling it and caching it ,
well running php artisan optimize does it for you , if you have Laravel (Not Lumen)

But if you look at their documentation it is commented out by default, i think they might have fixed it by now http://lumen.laravel.com/docs/installation.
