We have a slight inconsistency in path handling when passing in the env file. Currently the path accepted by --env-file flag is relative to supabase directory instead of workdir. So I believe using --env-file ../.env should work, ie.

npx supabase functions serve --env-file ../.env --no-verify-jwt

It might be difficult to fix this without breaking existing CI pipelines so the proper will will have to wait until v2.
