Placement of .env file and linkage not working in 2-begin

Ah, gotcha. I thought 'root' was referring to the /builderbook folder. Moving it to the associated #-begin does work as expected. Thanks for the clarification. Alex

When you say "root directory", do you mean that your .env file is in the main builderbook folder, in the builderbook/book folder, or in the builderbook/book/2-begin (or 2-end) folder?

Try putting a copy of your .env file directly in your 2-begin or 2-end folder, then see if require('dotenv').config() works as expected. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#513 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/ART5OZLZWW6HP43BLGHPXFLWO5RRBANCNFSM6AAAAAATFZOMJQ> .
