Hi everyone! All examples on github have

.env

target in the pact related actions: https://github.com/pactflow/example-bi-directional-provider-dredd/blob/master/Makefile#L34 For me it doesn't expose variables from the existing

.env

file on macos. So I ended up adding the snippet on the top of Makefile:

# Export all variable to sub-make if .env exists
ifneq (,$(wildcard ./.env))
    include .env
    export
endif

Am I doing it wrong way?

I think the

.env

was copied over from the canonical

example-consumer

example, but the use of the

dotenv

package hasn’t gone with it (for several reasons).

Thank you for the explanation, @Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go)!
