(dotenv) with NodeJS : Missing config value LDAP_DN

Question

I use dotenv in a NodeJS back-end. Everything worked before i add a new env variable Now i get the error when application starts in docker

Cannot start the application. Error: MISSING CONFIG VALUES: LDAP_DN

    at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1047:10)
    at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:11

My config :

a .env.example config file in root application folder (I added LDAP_DN)

NODE_ENV=
LDAP_DN=
LDAP_PROTOCOL=
LDAP_HOST=
LDAP_PORT=

In application.ts

dotenv.config();
    dotenvExt.load({
      schema: '.env.example',
      errorOnMissing: true,
    });

Error points dotenvExt.load line

Any idea?

Thanks
