Its because @nuxtjs/dotenv can't use system's variables when .env file is not found #12.

You can deploy .env file too. It's a bad practice, but works.

I'm not sure how I can help you ?

That module is using this package to load variables from .env file : https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv. You should probably get help there !

Please reopen if I have misunderstood your problem

i have try :
privatekey="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAS….." or privatekey:-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAS…
or
private_key:'-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAS….'

but result is Certificate object must contain a string "private_key" property.

Hello!

I've been unable to deploy to Netlify when using the plugin.

• "@nuxtjs/dotenv": "^1.1.0"
• "nuxt": "^1.0.0"

modules: [
        ['@nuxtjs/dotenv']
]

Netlfiy Error log when using the module
Netfliy log for successful deployment

I've tried a whole bunch of different configurations inside nuxt.config.js but could'nt get anything to work. I don't get the issue when I generate the static site locally just when using Netlify. I have spoke to their support and they can't see the issue. I am wondering if its to do with the NPM WARN about missing optional dependencies? Let me know if you need anymore info!

In our team, we would like to use .env file for local development. But it won't be committed to git. And while deploying it will take env variables from server. Right now when I add .env to .gitignore and when I try to build it from where, it throws an error saying that .env file is not found

I've follow the instructions to add the dotenv module.
When I run npm run dev I'm getting the following error:

This dependency was not found:

• fs in ./node_modules/@nuxtjs/dotenv/dist/index.js

To install it, you can run: npm install --save fs

Digging into this npm package its seems to be a security-holder package.
How to solve the error?

Could someone please clarify if this should be a devDependency or dependency in package.json?

Hot reloading is not working if you do a simple change on your .env file.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start dev server (e.g. with npm run dev or yarn run dev)
2. Change something in your .env file

i see in my configuration that contain secret code in source code /_nuxt/app.1234132.js .env is loaded in.

thanks

Hello,

Sorry to interrupt here but I really can not manage to achieve a simple thing (read process.env)

#1 - Only way I can read what's in my .env file is by
require('dotenv').config()
in nuxt.config.js

When I'm adding it as a module, it doesn't find anything even if .env is at the root…

#2 still in nuxt.config.js I define :

 env: {
    test: process.env.TEST,
  },

#3
In server/index.js I define :

const test = process.env.test

And it's always undefined…

I've tried a lot and a lot of thing but I think I'm missing something here. Any help will be really appreciate !

thanks !

Currently this module expects that the .env file to live in the root of the NuxtJS project. I have a usecase where I wish for the .env file to live in another location so it can be shared among multiple projects.

As such, it would be ideal if the module accepted a path option.

PR incoming.

the environment variables are not defined at the beginning. I am using the nuxtjs / axios module where I configure:

baseURL: process.env.API_URL,
browserBaseURL: process.env.API_URL_BROWSER

with this config an error occurs:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'substr' of undefined
    at ModuleContainer.nuxtAxios (/home/javier/vms/twobvm/projects/cominghouse/node_modules/@nuxtjs/axios/lib/index.js:38:46)

thank you!
