I`ve solved it. Just change the path to .env file.

Thank you for your service!

You have to use getenv() function to get needed .env variable. The .env file must be in the root of your project and use Composer Autoloader( /vendor/autoload.php) for correct work. To tell the truth, I don’t remember what exactly was my problem, but, if you haven`t solved your problem yet, I can help you via TeamViewer.

I stuck in same issue. can you help me to fix it

I have the same issue and really dont know what is wrong with my code, I belive that might something with the composer… Can someone help me to fix it plz

I know this is late but I had the same issue and I simply named the file to «.env» NOT config.env, var.env e.t.c. From there now you just have to specify the path. I have the .env file at the root of my project and am using the Slim framework. As you know how this frameworks work/how directories are structured, people usually have a public sub-folder and an index.php file inside it which serves as the entry point to the application. If this is the case(mostly Laravel, Symfony e.t.c.) then you just need to get the location of .env file correctly e.g.

$dotenv = DotenvDotenv::createImmutable(__DIR__ . '/../');

If it’s in public, this suffices:

$dotenv = DotenvDotenv::createImmutable(__DIR__);

@deniskulygin how you fixed this issue?? can you please help me as im getting same.

Fatal error: Uncaught DotenvExceptionInvalidPathException: Unable to read any of the environment file(s) at [C:wamp64wwwProServices.env]. in C:wamp64wwwProServicesapplicationvendorvlucasphpdotenvsrcLoader.php on line 133

@mishakansal Make sure you have the file at the said path, in your case, [C:wamp64www]. Next step, rename the file to just .env and NOT Proservices.env. No text should precede the file extension.

Got this error..pls help me in finding the solution

This worked for me. I previously had config.env and then I renamed it to .env and it worked. Thanks for the help.

After two hours struggling, in my case the problem was the .env file permission … change it and you could solve it

If its too up dig it up!

    require "../../vendor/autoload.php";
    $dotenv = DotenvDotenv::createImmutable(__DIR__ . "./../../../");
    $dotenv->load();
    
    print_r($_ENV);

Then it works!

Hi, I have the same problem. When I launched my app (I have deployed it with Heroku), I receive the errors like:

Anyone can help me to find what is the main cause here?

If you are using 7.0 or higher, you may user dirname function and adjust the level (second parameter) to go up according to where the .env is stored.

e.g.

$dotenv = DotenvDotenv::createImmutable(dirname(__DIR__, 2));

In my installation the file was called .env.example, so I removed the .example and the error was gone

Solved with more accuracy in the project directory $dotenv = DotenvDotenv::createImmutable(dirname(DIR, 1));

In my case, I removed the dot before env from this file vendor/vlucas/phpdotenv/src/Store/StoreBuilder.php
private const DEFAULT_NAME = ‘.env’;

If u move your file from the folder where it was created symfony will keep looking for it on this folder, i’ve went on autoload_runtime and changed on $runtime variable where the project is, just worked for me, lets see on the last composer dump what just happens haha

I am trying to make a GitHub Actions workflow which will run all my unit tests in my project.
Whenever I push to my CI-CD testing branch it will give me an error saying it is not able to read any of the enviroment files at a certain location [/app/tests/../.env.test]. The .env.test is in the root of my project, so maybe that is the problem but i would not know how to fix that.
The workflow:

name: CI/PHPUnit
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - CI-CD
jobs:
  build-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:

      - name: Checkout setup
        uses: actions/[email protected]


      - uses: php-actions/[email protected]
        with:
          php_version: 7.3
          php_extensions: bcmath

      - name: PHP unit tests with PHPUnit
        uses: php-actions/[email protected]
        with:
          configuration: phpunit.xml

But this will give me the following error:

Run php-actions/[email protected]
  with:
    configuration: phpunit.xml
    memory_limit: 256M
    version: latest
    php_version: latest
    test_suffix: Test.php,.phpt

This is my configuration file (phpunit.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit backupGlobals="false"
         backupStaticAttributes="false"
         bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php"
         colors="true"
         convertErrorsToExceptions="true"
         convertNoticesToExceptions="true"
         convertWarningsToExceptions="true"
         processIsolation="false"
         stopOnFailure="false"
>
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="unit">
            <directory suffix=".php">tests/Unit</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
</phpunit>

If someone knows a fix for this I would be very happy.
