Problem with the .env file

[aivarii]

For the Development Setup your Readme says that

Configure environment
cp .env.example .env.local

Setup database
pnpm db:push

But there is no .env.example file in the root folder.

However the .env.example file is in the Louez\apps\web folder, but when filling in the database details and renaming it to .env.local, the pnpm db:push command still gives an error message:

No config path provided, using default 'drizzle.config.ts'
@louez/db:db:push: Reading config file 'C:\xampp\htdocs\Louez\packages\db\drizzle.config.ts'
@louez/db:db:push: Error Please provide required params for MySQL driver:

It does not matter whether the .env.local file is in the root folder or in the .\apps\web folder.

Hey! Thanks for the detailed report, this was super helpful.

Both issues are now fixed in v1.7.0:

1. .env.example is now at the root — cp .env.example .env.local works as documented
2. pnpm db:push finds the database config — you also need to copy the env to apps/web/:

   cp .env.example .env.local
   cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local

The README has been updated with the correct instructions. Let us know if you hit anything else!
