Database cannot be autoload

[iddemirjs]

When I added to database in to autoload file. Dot env is not working. How can I solve that?

Seeing the exact same thing on CI3.

It looks like the database helper will be loaded before the .env files are processed which causes any env() calls in the database.php to fail.

In system\core\Loader.php, they prioritize loading of the database before any other libraries:

		// Load libraries
		if (isset($autoload['libraries']) && count($autoload['libraries']) > 0)
		{
			// Load the database driver.
			if (in_array('database', $autoload['libraries']))
			{
				$this->database();
				$autoload['libraries'] = array_diff($autoload['libraries'], array('database'));
			}

			// Load all other libraries
			$this->library($autoload['libraries']);
		}

If you don't mind touching the Code Igniter code, you can workaround this issue by forcing env to be loaded before database like:

		// Load libraries
		if (isset($autoload['libraries']) && count($autoload['libraries']) > 0)
		{
			// Load the environment driver before the database code
			if (in_array('env', $autoload['libraries']))
			{
				$this->library('env');
				$autoload['libraries'] = array_diff($autoload['libraries'], array('env'));
			}
			// Load the database driver.
			if (in_array('database', $autoload['libraries']))
			{
				$this->database();
				$autoload['libraries'] = array_diff($autoload['libraries'], array('database'));
			}

			// Load all other libraries
			$this->library($autoload['libraries']);
		}
