Issue Loading Environment Variables with dotenv in Node.js 20.17

[sharmag44]

I’m encountering an issue with loading environment variables using the dotenv package in Node.js 20.17. Despite following the typical setup for using dotenv, the environment variables defined in my .env file are not being loaded into process.env.
import dotenv from 'dotenv'; // Load environment variables from .env file dotenv.config({ path: '.env' });

You do not need to use the dotenv package to access environment variables anymore. Although still in experimental support, Node 20 has a flag --env-file to specify a file with values. Reference

As for your issue, it might help to see some more code.
