services:
  alpine:
    image: alpine:latest
    environment:
      - MY_VAR
  1. Create a .env file with:
MY_VAR=file
  1. Run MY_VAR=shell docker compose run alpine printenv MY_VAR

Describe the results you received:

Current output: file

Describe the results you expected:

Expected output: shell

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
