Missing ENV

[mvyleteljr]

I'm trying to run some new db migrations to alter schema and every time I run:

node ace make:migrations {migrationName} I get the following error:

Exception: E_MISSING_ENV_VALUE: Missing environment variable "HOST"

I have .env.api files in /build/development with a defined HOST value, and I have tried moving the files to the project root, inside the api/build/ files, and everywhere else i could think to put it, but nothing is working. This is an incredibly frustrating error. Any thoughts?

UPDATE: When running node ace serve --watch just to see what happens, I also get

Exception: E_MISSING_ENV_VALUE: Missing environment variable "APP_KEY"

Even though it is, again, defined in my .env files and i've put the files in what I believe is the right spot

I have no idea what is .env.api and what is build/development. Documentation doesn't talk about any of these
