ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT in Docker

Question

Answer 1

I had the same problem, I use Rider, I had the environment variable only on the docker-compose file in the service environment section.

What was happening on my end was I did not have ConnectionStrings set in my appsettings.Development.json so it defaulted to the appsettings.json file's ConnectionStrings.

I after adding the proper connection string to the development json file everything worked fine with the docker-compose up command. Hope this helps someone as well.
