Environment Variable always returns undefined

I'm just trying to import the values from dotenv to the code, but it always returns undefined. deno version: 1.39.1 running command: deno run --allow-read --allow-env main.ts dotenv content:

FOO=123

FOO=123

main.ts content:

import "https://deno.land/std@0.208.0/dotenv/load.ts";
console.log(Deno.env.get("FOO"));

import "https://deno.land/std@0.208.0/dotenv/load.ts";
console.log(Deno.env.get("FOO"));

I also tried

import { load } from "https://deno.land/std@0.210.0/dotenv/mod.ts";

await load({
    export:true,
    envPath: "./.env",
    allowEmptyValues: false,
});

const test = Deno.env.get("TEST_TOKEN")
console.log(test)

import { load } from "https://deno.land/std@0.210.0/dotenv/mod.ts";

await load({
    export:true,
    envPath: "./.env",
    allowEmptyValues: false,
});

const test = Deno.env.get("TEST_TOKEN")
console.log(test)

result is always:

Task start deno run --allow-read --allow-env main.ts
undefined

Task start deno run --allow-read --allow-env main.ts
undefined

Update: also tried deno run --env --allow-env main.ts and it still is undefined.

Firstly, your .env file is formatted incorrectly. It should be FOO=123. Secondly, use the —env CLI argument instead of load(). I.e. deno run —env main.ts

Oh sorry, I writed it wrongly on the message, actually the file have = instead of : Still importing dotenv in main.ts?
