[FIXED] .flaskenv not starting in development enviornment

Issue

I have my .flaskenv file as below

FLASK_APP=app.py
FLASK_ENV=development

When I run

flask run

I get the following

 * Serving Flask app 'app.py'
 * Debug mode: off
WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000
Press CTRL+C to quit

As seen, the server, while it says it a development server, it does not run in a development environment. I have the python-dotenv package installed and the .flaskenv file is in the same directory as my app.py

Solution

Try

FLASK_DEBUG=1

for running the server in development mode.

FLASK_DEBUG=0

turns the debug mode off
