dotnev variable value calculation

Hello !

I canot find anything in the docs so I decided to ask here:

Is there some sort of prioirity in the dotenv declaraion?

Like if I declare it to be

['.env', '$HOME/.env']

['.env', '$HOME/.env']

and have

DEPLOY="true"

DEPLOY="true"

.env

.env

but

DEPLOY="false"

DEPLOY="false"

$HOME/.env

$HOME/.env

what will be the value of

DEPLOY

DEPLOY

in the end?

-

true

true

because

.env

.env

is first so its values take precedence?
-

false

false

because

$HOME/.env

$HOME/.env

is last so its value override the rest?

Solution

Hello !
It'll be true. Dotenv files are processed in the order they are defined. If an environment variable already exists, it won't be overridden.
