Answer 1

Have you tried to view the contents of the directory with some file manager or through the console? .env is located at the root of the project. There should also be an .env.example, which is also not visible, hinting at NetBeans problems.

Answer 2

Elementary Watson. The file is called .env. The dot at the beginning of the name means a hidden file for nix systems (it's strange that netbins does not display it, it seems like it should, but I don't know for sure). You display the contents of the folder using the ls command, but it also does not see hidden files, to view them you need to execute ls -A (or ls -a I don’t remember exactly, read the man)

Answer 3

Judging by the screenshot, you either have problems with file permissions, netbins does not display this file in the tree, although others with a dot are shown. Or a problem with the netbins cache, it is treated by rebooting.
