npm init vue@latest project fails to run about create-vue HOT 3 CLOSED

Can't reproduce.

1. Do you have a reproduction repo?
2. The error is thrown from the dotenv-expand dependency. Please check if there's any irregular syntax in your .env.* files in the project, or in any ancestor directories.

Thanks for the quick reply, looks like the problem is with the "or in any ancestor directories" part of your answer.

I am running on a Linux system so I have a ".env" file in my home directory that is used by the shell (as has always been done in Unix systems). If I rename my $HOME/.env to $HOME/.tmp.env then I am able to run the dev server successfully.

If the project created by create-vue is going to recursively look up the directory structure for a file called .env*, then it should place a default .env file in the generated project so it does not go looking up the directory hierarchy to find a random unrelated file called .env* I tried creating an empty .env in the project folder and that seemed to also fix the issue.

As it stands, many Linux users will run into this issue and not know how to address it.
