Can't read .env file without absolute path

Question content

When I try to read the .env file, it doesn't work without using an absolute path.

func init() {
    err := godotenv.load(".env") //<--fails
    //err := godotenv.load("./.env") //<--fails
    //err := godotenv.load("/home/peter/documents/tests/configuration/.env") //<--works
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    config = getconfig()
}

I get panic: open .env: no such file or directory But the file is there

$ ls -a
.  ..  config.go  .env

Any clues?

Correct Answer

One potential problem is that the directory where the executable is run is different from the directory where the .env file is located. Can you verify this?
