Running pest:dusk from CLI not changing the APP_ENV?

[rabrowne85]

I've been trying to get my dusk test suite to run, but whenever I run:

php artisan pest:dusk

It doesn't seem to change the APP_ENV to testing. As such the incorrect .env is being loaded.

I think in my old 'valet' method I was able to add a fastcgi_param APP_ENV testing; to the nginx configuration file for the site and then it would always load the correct environment files.

However, this doesn't seem to work for the cli. The only 'solution' I've been able to find is to set the value before the call:

APP_ENV=testing php artisan pest:dusk

Is there something that I'm missing to do this without having to add the command line variable?
