dfx deploy does not create .env file. It is weird, because for my other package .env file is created.

What’s wrong? How to create the .env with canisters IDs?

$ dfx --version
dfx 0.15.2+rev15.283413df

Does your dfx.json contain this line in both cases?

3

Yes, missing that line was the error.

I’m curious, is there any command that can automatically generate .env file?

Assuming you have the line in dfx.json that enables .env generation, then it is generated during the build step, either in dfx build or dfx deploy
