Error while trying to load an asset: Flutter Web engine failed to fetch "assets/.env". HTTP request succeeded, but the server responded with HTTP status 404.

When i try to load my .env file it shows this error:

Error while trying to load an asset: Flutter Web engine failed to fetch "assets/.env". HTTP request succeeded, but the server responded with HTTP status 404.

I have added this too:

  assets:
    - .env

Same for me.

Error while trying to load an asset: Flutter Web engine failed to fetch "assets/assets/dotenv". HTTP request succeeded, but the server responded with HTTP status 404.

But my flutter web service worker has "assets/assets/dotenv": "4ef2f78446edff171436088341b541e3" in it's resources...?

Same here,

I found that changing the file name to 'env' works on firebase web projects

https://{host}/assets/.env -> http 404
https://{host}/assets/env -> http 200

not sure if it is a firebase hosting problem

overall, I need to change
env filename: .env to env
pubspec.yaml

  assets:
    - env

and
code:

await dotevn.load(fileName: 'env')

I encountered the same problem.

There was a hidden file setting in firebase.json, so I tried excluding it, but the result was the same.
However, I don't know if the setting method is correct.

Before

  "hosting": {
    "source": ".",
    "ignore": [
      "firebase.json",
      "**/.*",  // include .env file?
      "**/node_modules/**"
    ]
  }

After

  "hosting": {
    "source": ".",
    "ignore": [
      "firebase.json",
      "**/.*",
      "!.env",  // add
      "**/node_modules/**"
    ]
  }

Same for me.

Files that start with a dot (.) are considered a security concern on most web servers, such as Apache and Nginx, and access is typically restricted. This is not an issue with Flutter dotenv, but rather a default limitation of the web server.
