Replaces the unmaintained pytest-dotenv by adding native .env file support. Files are loaded before inline env entries so that inline config can override .env values. Configured via env_files in TOML native format or INI linelist. Parses KEY=VALUE lines, skips comments and blank lines, strips optional quotes. Missing files are silently ignored. Closes pytest-dev#184 Signed-off-by: Bernát Gábor <bgabor8@bloomberg.net>

The pytest-dotenv plugin is no longer maintained, leaving users without
a supported way to load
.envfiles during test runs. This adds native.envfile support directly to pytest-env,so users can drop the extra dependency and keep their workflow intact. Closes #184.
A new
env_filesconfig option accepts a list of.envfile paths, resolved relative to the project root. 📂 Theparser handles
KEY=VALUElines,#comments, blank lines, optional single/double quoting, and whitespace aroundkeys and values. Missing files are silently skipped, following the dotenv convention that allows committing config
referencing
.envwhile the file only exists locally..envfiles are loaded before inlineenventries, so inline config always takes precedence. ✨ This meansexisting flags like
skip_if_setandtransformwork naturally with values loaded from.envfiles. The featureworks across all config formats — native TOML (
env_files = [".env"]), and INI linelist (env_files = .env).
