import { config } from "dotenv";
import { z } from "zod";

config({ path: ".env.local" });

const env = z.object({
  DATABASE_URL: z.string(),
  NODE_ENV: z.optional(z.string().default(process.env.NODE_ENV)),
  BETTER_AUTH_SECRET: z.string(),
  BETTER_AUTH_URL: z.string(),
});

export default env.parse(process.env);

this the env.ts file

Try this package replacing dotenv:

[@t3-oss/env-nextjs](https://env.t3.gg/docs/nextjs)

It fits better with nextjs and will help you with this problem.
