Got error "Expected to decode Int but found Scalar instead." if i use an env var in an assignment to "replicas"

[ar4hc]

Hi,

stumbled upon this:

Error: DecodingError.typeMismatch: expected value of type Int. Path: services.<oo.deploy.replicas. Debug description: Expected to decode Int but found Scalar instead.

when running

container-compose up --env-file .env -f compose.yml

Relevant parts of the Docker compose yaml looks like this

    deploy:
      mode: replicated
      replicas: ${CORES}

and in .env is

CORES=1

(not CORES="1")

I assume the Decoder looks at this before the variable is resolved...?
So it seed the string "${CORES}" instead of the "1", as the value, from the .env file?

Can i work around this somehow? (other than hard coding the values in the compose file...)
