I have the same error as OP and I have included DotEnv.AutoConfig();

Do you happen to know why that would be?

@Lexa013 there are two things in play here.

1. AutoConfig searches up three levels from the location of the library which means the topmost folder it'll search is the bin folder.
2. envReader.GetStringValue would throw an exception if it can't find a value for the given key but envReader.TrygetStringValue is the exception-safe option.

To address the first point here though, in the next release, I would be increasing the number of levels to search from 3 to 4 to handle the nested build format of MsBuild meaning the topmost folder searched would now be the project folder and not the bin.

An immediate solution to the issue yourself and @austinschrader are having would be changing DotEnv.AutoConfig() to DotEnv.AutoConfig(4)
