env2 error

[ghost]

This message appears, but I have done npm install and installed env2

This is just a warning which indicate that you haven't define your environmnet variables in a .env file. So if you create this file ".env" at the root of the project the warning should disappear. See the section about the environment variables you will need to define to be able to run the project https://github.com/dwyl/time#required-environment-variables (you might need to run a Postgres database)

@markwilliamfirth we should probably put a big warning to potential users that we are migrating this to "New Stack" ... The "old" version has way too many "hoops" to jump through.

I've been seeing the same issue. I created a .env file but it wasn't found. I replaced it with a config.env file and it found it.

@jackcarlisle which version of env2 are/were you using?

[jackcarlisle]

@nelsonic 2.1.1

Thanks @SimonLab @jackcarlisle for your help - the error disappeared after creating the .env file manually in Atom.

https://github.com/dwyl/time#required-environment-variables
When following the guide I ran the export commands without a .env file and (obviously) nothing happened.
Would it be possible to add a line in the setup guide that creates a .env file from a terminal command?
Would the following work?
cat > .env
ctrl + c
export DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:@localhost/dwyl
export JWT_SECRET=https://git.io/vaN7A

@nelsonic when is the migration happening?

[nelsonic]

it's a pain that the "Alpha" version of Time is not working for you...
but let's not worry about this for the next couple of weeks while we ramp up our Phoenix capabilities... 😉
