Doctrine read connection with database based on local environment variables

Question

I have a new project in Symfony 4 framework. In this project I have few files with environment variables: .env, .env.dev, .env.local, .env.rc

In my env.local I'm trying to connect with database locally. In .env.local I have enviroment variable:

DATABASE_URL="mysql://root:@127.0.0.1:3306/ecerti"

The problem is Symfony reads DATABASE_URL from .env.dev instead of .env.local when I'm running command:

php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

What should I do in order to reading environment variables from .env.local locally?

Answer 1

You have to use .env.dev.local filename in this case.

Please refer Symfony documentation for list of possible .env files and their priorities.
