I've been trying to set up vercel postgres with drizzle ORM and I pulled the .env.development.local file using the Vercel CLI, I've installed the @next/env and also defined the config file and everything, but I just can't seem to get it working

If I replace the process.env.POSTGRES_URL! with the actual string url, everything works fine, so I'm sure I set up the DB connection properly, it's just the process.env that is not working, any ideas ?

I just created an .env.production.local file and copied the same settings, now it's working,

so I guess my question is, why is it not pulling the information from .env.development.local? do I need to change my config or something?

How can I make my project use .env.local.development instead of .env.local.production ?
