[BUG] secrets from environment not resolved on included projects #11952
Description
Description
I'm trying to include a compose file into my main compose which contains a secret defined on it's own environment file, but compose fails to resolve it.
The main compose includes a child compose which has a secret loaded on it's own .env file.
When moving app/.env to .env it works fine, which means include is not respecting project_directory nor env_file for the secret resolving.
Is there any way I can avoid this besides copying the .env to the root or adding the --env-file app/.env flag to the docker compose up command? (which also works)
Steps To Reproduce
The project structure is as follows:
├── app
│ └── .env
│ └── docker-compose.yml
└── docker-compose.yml
docker-compose.yml
---
include:
- path: app/docker-compose.yml
project_directory: app
env_file: app/.env
services:
main:
image: nginx:1.25.4-alpineapp/docker-compose.yml
---
services:
app:
image: nginx:1.25.4-alpine
secrets:
- passwd
secrets:
passwd:
environment: PASSWDapp/.env
PASSWD=secret
When trying to run the previous stack, I get the following error:
$ docker compose up
