Description:

I've been reading different ways of doing this, but none of the solutions seem to be working. At some point in my app, I want to be able to add an .env editor, and in my .env is a path to my preferred storage location. (e.g /data/dev/storage)

What is the best way to use the useStoragePath method, but to also call the .env value that is the path? (e.g env('APP_STORAGE'))

Steps To Reproduce:

Tried $this->app->useStoragePath(env('APP_STORAGE')); in AppServiceProvider::register - no changes

Tried $app->useStoragePath(env('APP_STORAGE')); in bootstrap/app.php - can't pull env value

Tried $app->useStoragePath('/my/preferred/path'); in bootstrap/app.php - this worked, but was not my preferred option.

Any ideas?
