I'm trying to set configuration variables on my project using the official documentation.

I added the following line to my app.module.ts imports:

ConfigModule.forRoot({

  isGlobal: true

}),

I created a .env file at the root of my project with the following content:

MY_VARIABLE=myself

And I use dependecy injection to get access to the configuration service:

constructor(private configService: ConfigService) {}

However the following line logs 'Env variable: undefined'

console.log('Env variable: ', this.configService.get<any>('MY_VARIABLE'));
