dotenv environment variables problem with typescript

Question

My project structure look like this:

|-project
   |-src
     |-index.ts
   |-.env

in index.ts I'm trying to load environment variables:

import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config();

I've also tried with

dotenv.config({
    path: __dirname+"/../.env"
});

file .env itself is surely ok, where is the mistake? Thank for help

command that I'm running is ts-node ./src/index.ts

edit: I'm accesing values using expression like process.env.DB_CONNECT

.env file

DB_CONNECT=someValue
TOKEN_KEY=someValue

doesn't work, either with or without config object and any way to describe path in this object — woda, Aug 01 '20 at 21:36
Can you edit your question to add your config file and how you are accessing the values ? — Seblor, Aug 01 '20 at 21:47

Can you try this?

import { resolve } from 'path';
import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config({ path: resolve(__dirname, "../.env") });
