Could not find ./.env on the file system (working directory:/)

Hi readers

I am setting up this package in my java project, have added dependency and also created a .env file
but when calling configure() as mentioned below

Dotenv dotenv = Dotenv .configure() .load();

I followed your document but i want to use .env file from the root of the project for example : exampleproject/app/.env

and getting this error every time i do

I ended up pasting .env file on every root of the project for example project/app/ , project/ , project/app/src ... but nun of that worked. !

I'm using GraalVM native-image on pc.

Ok, because
mvn -pl server spring-boot:run does not remove the server from the user.dir path
and
mvn -pl server -Pnative native:compile removing the server from the path. So I have to add it to the path

String projectPath = System.getProperty("user.dir", ".");

if (!projectPath.contains("server")) {
	projectPath = projectPath + "\\server\\";
}
System.out.println("Current resource path: " + projectPath);
Dotenv dotenv = Dotenv.configure().directory(projectPath).load();

I put the .env under the server

root-folder
  | __ client
  | __ server/
       | __ resource/
             | __ .env (not in here)
       .env (here)
pom.xml

Have a look at the android usage section here
https://github.com/cdimascio/dotenv-kotlin?tab=readme-ov-file#android-usage

Note the use of env not .env

I make a mistake. I thought this was on PC but it's mobile. But still, I'm trying to get it working with spring-boot and graalvm
two different types and it just doesn't work well together.
mvn -pl server spring-boot:run
and
mvn -pl server -Pnative native:compile
