env file not loading

[almoehi]

Hi,
what is the correct way to get .env settings loaded into laravel with bref ?

I have a .env file that gets bundled with the lambda ZIP. But it seems like its content does not get loaded by lambda/bref runtime.

So I tried to add them to the environment config variable of the deployed lambda itself - but that doesn't work since it exceeds the 4KB size limit.

What's the right approach here ? (I'm using a custom deployed lambda and not the serverless framework)

Bref does not prevent Laravel from loading that file. I'd suggest making sure the file is actually in the zip file. And if yes, investigating why Laravel isn't loading it.

Alright thanks - wasn't quite sure from the docs as they only talk about env vars in serverless.

The file is definitely there because I can print it out from within index.php.

Thanks !

Got it sorted out - but one issue retains:

I have the APP_URL set to domain.com and this works in a regular container deployment. The generated URLs use that as base URL to generate/render links.

However on serverless with bref laravel suddenly generates URLs like this: $lambdaFunctionUrl/index.php/xxx

It seems to be using the HTTP host header / or sth else. Is bref doing some overrides here ?

My setup is route53 >> CloudFront >> lambda function url origin

In case someone hits same issue:

Nothing bref related I think.

Sth to do with how Laravel generates/ extracts the url used to render the canonical URL html tag.
