fix: expand ~ in find_dotenv and the %dotenv magic - #714
Merged

Conversation
find_dotenv joins filename onto each directory it searches, so an absolute filename is already returned as is when it exists, but `~/.env` was searched for literally. Expand it first, which also fixes IPython's `%dotenv ~/.env`. Follows #615, which did the same for dotenv_path and the CLI --file option.

Follow-up to #615 (#525), which made
dotenv_pathand the CLI--fileoption expand a leading~. Two entry points still didn't:HOME/.envexistsfind_dotenv("~/.env")'''<home>/.env'%dotenv ~/.envWhy it's a separate PR:
find_dotenvsearches upward forfilename, so expanding~changes what a search function does with its argument. It already returns an absolutefilenameunchanged when it exists (os.path.join(dir, "/abs")is"/abs"), and this treats~/...the same way. The only behaviour change is thatfind_dotenv("~/.env")no longer looks for a literal~directory in each parent, which seems very unlikely to be intended.Change: one line at the top of
find_dotenv, plus a docstring note. The README's%dotenvsection gets a~/path/to/.envexample.Tests:
test_find_dotenv_expands_userandtest_ipython_path_expands_userboth fail without the fix and pass with it. Both setHOMEandUSERPROFILEso they work on Windows. Locally: 288 passed, ruff and format are clean, and mypy passes on 3.10 and 3.14.
