fresh install - prisma db:push fails when using .env.development & .env.production

Previous T3 apps I've created an .env.development and .env.production file and prisma has worked fine.
Setup a fresh install of T3 today and while db:push works if I have the environment file named simply as .env, as soon as I change to having .env.development and .env.production, it reports the following error:

Prisma schema loaded from prisma/schema.prisma
Datasource "db": MySQL database
Error: Prisma schema validation - (get-config wasm)
Error code: P1012
error: Environment variable not found: DATABASE_URL.

14 |     url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
   |

Validation Error Count: 1

Prisma CLI Version : 5.13.0

I've not edited env.js other than to add some additional environmental variables. Any suggestions?

Solution:

Prisma recommends using https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv-cli https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/more/development-environment/environment-variables/using-multiple-env-files

npm

dotenv-cli

Thank you, I've edited the "db:push" script and that has worked.
