--env-file option not respected
The --env-file option of the
convex dev command is not being respected. There is also one more issue suffering from this https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1389435809337442335
For reference, this option was introduced back in https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend/commit/2ed5fe1139153d0ede9828ffcd977f7b2866150d2 Replies

--env-file is only for choosing a different file than .env.local. The .env.local is used to select a deployment, but your convex code will not read environment variables from it. The only way to set env vars for access in your convex code is through the Convex dashboard or via
npx convex env set <name> <value>
