Environment variable not found: "DATABASE_URL

[krajcikondra]

When I run php pm with test environment

vendor/bin/ppm start --config=ppm.json --app-env=test

I got following exception:

An exception was thrown by the bridge. Forcing restart of the worker. The exception was: Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\EnvNotFoundException: Environment variable not found: "DATABASE_URL". in /var/www/html/vendor/symfony/dependency-injection/EnvVarProcessor.php:172

My .env.test file:

KERNEL_CLASS='App\Kernel'
APP_SECRET='mysecret'
SYMFONY_DEPRECATIONS_HELPER=999999
PANTHER_APP_ENV=panther
PANTHER_ERROR_SCREENSHOT_DIR=./var/error-screenshots
MAILER_DSN=null://localhost
APP_ENV=test
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://db_user:[email protected]:5432/db_name?serverVersion=13&charset=utf8"

Do I start ppm server properly? I use symfony 5.2

Having the same problem, although I am running ppm inside a Docker container and symfony 6.1.

Command:
/ppm/vendor/bin/ppm start \ --workers=1 \ --host=0.0.0.0 \ --debug 1 \ --socket-path=/tmp \ --static-directory=public/ \ --pidfile=/ppm/ppm.pid

When running the same command from a local console, symfony parses the .env (or .env.local.php) file correctly and the env vars are listed in webprofiler (in Server Params).

When running in docker, the webprofiler shows "no data". I have to pass all variables as docker environment variables in docker-compose file.
.env and .env.local.php are bind-mounted into the container (the whole project directory).

In docker:

In debian bash:

composer.json for ppm:
{ "require": { "php-pm/httpkernel-adapter": "dev-master", "php-pm/php-pm": "dev-master" } }

Dockerfile:
`FROM php:8.1-alpine AS php

ENV OPCACHE_ENABLE="On"
ENV PHPPM_WORKERS=1
ENV APP_ENV="prod"

ENV STATIC_DIR="public"
ENV PPM_DEBUG=0

The problem is related to how .env files are parsed in symfony:
When APP_ENV is already set, no .env file is parsed. The symfony bootstrap for php-pm does the same, see PHPPM\Bootstraps::getApplication()

I recommand to include your env file into the docker-compose service like described here:
