${env:MYVAR} not working in serverless.yml

When I run in offline mode (serverless-offline) I’m unable to access the loaded env variables in my serverless.yml. For example in the config below, the ${env:STAGE} always rolls over to the default.

# serverless.yml
service: serverless-framework-starter

plugins:
  - serverless-dotenv-plugin
  - serverless-webpack
  - serverless-offline #serverless-offline needs to be last in the list

custom:
  webpack:
    webpackConfig: 'webpack.config.js'
    includeModules: true
    packager: 'npm'
  serverless-offline:
    port: 4000
  dotenv:
    path: "./.env.${opt:NODE_ENV, 'development'}"

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs8.10
  stage: ${env:STAGE, 'dev'}
  region: ${env:REGION, 'us-east-1'}
  versionFunctions: false
  iamRoleStatements:
  -  Effect: "Allow"
     Action:
       - "s3:*"
     Resource: "*"

functions:
  test-func:
    handler: src/test-func/handler.default
    name: ${self:provider.stage}-${self:service}-upload
    memorySize: 128
    events:
      - http:
          path: hello
          method: get
          cors: true

The test handler has no trouble accessing SOMEVAL and it uses the proper value if I change the NODE_ENV at runtime.

// handler.js
const hello = (event, context, callback) => {
  const response = {
    statusCode: 200,
    body: JSON.stringify({
      message: `Go Serverless v1.0! Your function executed successfully! ENV: ${process.env.SOMEVAL}`,
      input: event,
    }),
  };

  callback(null, response);

  // Use this code if you don't use the http event with the LAMBDA-PROXY integration
  // callback(null, { message: 'Go Serverless v1.0! Your function executed successfully!', event });
};

export default hello;

It seems like a timing issue. It seems like the serverless.yml is processed before the serverless-dotenv-plugin is able to load the environment variables into scope. Any idea how I can prove this or whether this is the right concept?

Have the same issue, and it’s pretty annoying =(

Oh, yeah, if it helps:

.env.development

STAGE=dev
REGION=us-east-1
SOMEVAL=dev val
HELLO_PATH=hello

.env.production

STAGE=prod
REGION=us-east-1
SOMEVAL=prod val
HELLO_PATH=hello_world
