ENV vars not overriding in rake task about dotenv

[jetheredge]

Looking into this further, it appears that I'm only getting the behavior I'm expecting in the Rails console, the workers and the web app are both incorrectly loading this, and after looking at the code it seems that this might not be expected behavior at all (it appears that the environment specific file is loaded before the .env file).

In light of this, my question is... is dotenv capable of setting defaults in the .env file and then overriding them in environment specific files, or do you simply go with either a single .env file or environment specific .env files?

This issue is described in #45. Right now there is not a workaround for it. Once #95 ships, the dotenv-deployment gem should fix it by actually overriding local variables with the environment-specific version.

Yeah, I saw #45 and this didn't feel quite the same, but I think that I was using dotenv in a way that it was not designed to work. Thanks.
