env-cmd error failed to locate ./.env file in gatsby?

Question

I have a file name .env.development in the root folder. I had install env-cmd as dev dependencies
when I start the server

  > npm run develop
         


        

Answer 1

You can rename .env.development to just .env and then run env-cmd gatsby develop, this will look for environment variables inside .env file.

You can also update the develop node script inside the package.json like the following:

"develop": "env-cmd gatsby develop"

Then you can run the node script,

npm run develop

or

gatsby develop
