Issue loading python env variable with getenv()

I set a variable with in the UI for dbsslmode to require but it does not seem to load. assert getenv("dbsslmode") == "require"

File "/app/fb_models.py", line 16, in <module>
assert getenv("dbsslmode") == "require"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AssertionError

File "/app/fb_models.py", line 16, in <module>
assert getenv("dbsslmode") == "require"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AssertionError

I added this assert because I was getting a None type error on the env variable. I must be doing something stupid. I am using load_dotenv() but I dont this this is causing the issue.

a production app running on railway would not need to call load_dotenv() because railway has service variables that get automatically injected into the environment, have you set your desired variable there?

I have setup the variable. My understanding is that load_dotenv() won’t have cause any issue, I need this for local testing so would prefer to leave it.

please send a screenshot of your service variables tab
