What problem does it solve?

Fix for Tauri app not loading .env file with dotenvy. Use when: (1) Environment variables return not set errors in Tauri commands, (2) dotenvy::from_filename() fails with relative paths like ../../.env, (3) API keys or config work locally but not in Tauri app, (4) GhostClient::from_env() or similar fails with missing env vars. The fix is that cargo tauri dev runs with CWD at project root, not at ui/src-tauri, so use .env not ../../.env.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Corrects the working directory context for dotenvy in Tauri dev.
  • Implements a multi-path loading approach to locate the .env file.
  • Verifies critical environment variables at startup to prevent silent failures.

Quick Start

Add a small multi-path env loader to your Tauri entry point and verify env vars load correctly during development. Then run cargo tauri dev from the project root to ensure GHOST_URL and other keys are available.
