Unfortunately, it's a pretty simple question, but I can't find the answer.

Don't have an access to environment variables in some file.

I use create-react-app (^16.11.0)

  • file .env in the root folder near package.json
  • variable declared as REACT_APP_API=http://localhost:4000
  • call variable as process.env.REACT_APP_API
  • the server has been restarted many times

I have an access to the variable in some folder but in another don't.

Thanks a lot!

THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND! As often happens, the reason is funny.

When typing process.env.REACT_APP_API, my IDE automaticlly added an import at the top of the file

import process from "process";

That's why i can't access to process.env. in one specific file.

Import removed, problem solved
