Breaking change to env vars expansion since [email protected]

[nezed]

Describe the bug

We're using env expansion feature for our .env files.

Given following .env file as example:

# .env
VITE_SOURCE=12345
VITE_EXPANDED=$VITE_SOURCE-678-ab

We expect, the behaviour of Vite@<=5.1.1:

console.log(import.meta.env.VITE_EXPANDED) // 12345-678-ab

Actual result for Vite@>=5.1.2:

console.log(import.meta.env.VITE_EXPANDED) // 12345

the -678-ab part is missing now

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-yalk8f?file=.env

Steps to reproduce

• have any setup with [email protected]+
• have any .env file setup
• in .env file have an env variable vith env expansion and trailing content

UPD: Seems that the braking change have only affected the env expansion with kebab-cased content after the env var reference.

Example:

Vite@<=5.1.1 (correct)

Vite@>=5.1.2 (breaking change)

You can try it yourself by changing a Vite version in this minimalistic Vite-only example

System Info

Seems to be reproducible in setup and package manager.

Verified on:
Package managers: npm, pnpm
Envs: OS X, StackBlitz
Vite setup: `npm create vite` is just fine
.env loading method: both
 - .env in root directory with zero configuration
 - via `loadEnv()`

Used Package Manager

npm
