env variables not available on api/.../route.ts

[lucifer-simplai]

I have an application using next version 14.1.0 which uses app router now I have an api routes src/app/api/env/route.ts which is as below

import { getErrorFromApi } from "@/utils/helperFunction";
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

export async function GET() {
  try {

    
    console.log("current env variables : ", process.env);
    return NextResponse.json({
      NEXTAUTH_URL: process.env.NEXTAUTH_URL,
      DASHBOARD_URL: process.env.DASHBOARD_URL,
      DOCGEN_URL: process.env.DOCGEN_URL,
      DEVICE_ID: process.env.DEVICE_ID,
      BASE_URL: process.env.BASE_URL,
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.log("error in process : ", error);
    console.log("error message in process : ", getErrorFromApi(error));
  }
}

now the issue is I am not getting env variables in this route even though they are present in the pod env

when running printenv command in pod I can see the variables.

I am not able to see the logs of this route in server logs as well as even thought the route is executed and the response was received and the response is empty object what can be the issue

Also let me know if extra config is need for this to be enabled from code level or devops end while configuring pod

FYI these are runtime env variables and not buildtime. I hope this will not be an issue
