Error: Value required for --fork-url when running script with .env file

Question

I encountered an error while attempting to run a script with a .env file, specifically receiving the message 'error: a value is required for '--fork-url ' but none was supplied.' Below is the code snippet I used:

$ forge script script/DeploySimpleStorage.s.sol --rpc-url $RPC_URL --broadcast --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY

I have meticulously checked for spaces and misspellings, yet the issue persists. Interestingly, the script runs successfully without the .env file. The .env file has been configured correctly as per the lesson. Could there be an obvious detail I am overlooking?

To retrieve the value of your SEPOLIA_RPC_URL from your .env file, you can follow these steps: Ensure that there is a value assigned to SEPOLIA_RPC_URL in your .env file. Run the following commands in your terminal: source .env echo $SEPOLIA_RPC_URL This will display the value of SEPOLIA_RPC_URL that is stored in your .env file. Please note that you will need to execute these commands in your terminal each time you start your system. If the above steps do not work: Confirm that the .env file is included in your .gitignore to prevent it from being tracked by version control. Double-check the spelling and ensure that the variable name matches exactly as it appears in both your .env file and in your terminal. If you encounter any issues, you can seek assistance by sharing your code and any error messages with the community for further help. I hope this information proves helpful to you.
