* Tip: There are .env or .flaskenv files present. Do "pip install python-dotenv" to use them.
Error: Failed to find Flask application or factory in module 'app'. Use 'app:name' to specify one.
Usage: python -m flask [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try 'python -m flask --help' for help.
Error: No such command 'api'.

@nightblure I am interested in this Repo. Can I work on this issue and make a PR?

add info: with type "python" got same behaviour
I came up with a workaround, and it works thanks to running it through a Python file, inside which I read the envs and run what I need. If anyone is interested and has encountered this, write here, and I'll show you my work
