Symfony 4 - Use environment variable in dev and test

as part of a training on Stripe on Symfony, I am trying to set up an environment variable for testing.

So I have to set a variable to false for testing. And for other environments, the variable must be true.

So, I did this :

#.env.test:
VERIFY_STRIPE_EVENT=false

and

#.env:
VERIFY_STRIPE_EVENT=true

Next, I want to test if I have the good value.

So in my controller, I test : dd(getenv("VERIFY_STRIPE_EVENT")); with dev environment. But it returns false.

It means that I can't get the variable. Can someone help me please ?

Solution

  • Add this to line to .env

    APP_ENV=prod

    Add this to line to .env.test

    APP_ENV=test

    Add this to line to .env

    APP_ENV=prod

    Add this to line to .env.stage

    APP_ENV=stage

    Now, your getenv("VERIFY_STRIPE_EVENT") will return the correct variable depending on which environment you are in.
