env_file fails to find file on host machine when deployed

[ADRFranklin]

after testing a little bit with this, it seems when deploying with pico, docker compose is unable to find env files on the host system, which can be confirmed when you copy pico's params that are passed to docker compose and run them yourself.

Pico's Attempt:

{"level":"debug","ts":"2021-11-05T21:44:48.560Z","caller":"executor/cmd.go:101","msg":"executing with secrets","target":"pico-pterodactyl-panel","cmd":["docker-compose","up","-d"],"url":"https://gitlab.com/xxx/pico-pterodactyl-panel","dir":"/cache/pico-pterodactyl-panel","env":{"DATA_DIR":"/storage","DOMAIN_NAME":"xxx","HOSTNAME":"local-01","MACHINE_NAME":"local-01"},"passthrough":false}
Couldn't find env file: /storage/pterodactyl/conf.d/panel.env

Manual Attempt:

 DATA_DIR=/storage HOSTNAME="local-01" DOMAIN_NAME="xxx" docker-compose up -d
Creating network "pico-pterodactyl-panel_default" with the default driver
Pulling cache (redis:alpine)...
alpine: Pulling from library/redis
a0d0a0d46f8b: Already exists

as seen from above, running manually works perfectly fine.

Can you provide an MVCE for this? A simple Docker compose config and Pico target

[ADRFranklin]

Sure,

Config

E("DATA_DIR", "/storage");
E("MACHINE_NAME", HOSTNAME);

var GITLAB_HOST = "https://gitlab.com/";

A({
  name: "gitlab",
  path: "/pico",
  user_key: "GIT_USERNAME",
  pass_key: "GIT_PASSWORD",
});

function Compose(name) {
  return {
    name: name,
    url: GITLAB_HOST + "user/" + name,
    up: ["docker-compose", "up", "-d"],
    down: ["docker-compose", "down"],
    auth: "gitlab",
  };
}

if (HOSTNAME === "local-01") {
  E("DOMAIN_NAME", "domain");
  T(Compose("pico-pterodactyl-panel"));
}
