Error when trying to deploy contract using hardhat

[oceanwillo]

Can anyone help with this error? "Error HH8: There's one or more errors in your config file:

• Invalid value undefined for HardhatConfig.networks.sepolia.url - Expected a value of type string.
• Invalid account: #0 for network: sepolia - Expected string, received undefined
  "
  I’m gathering there must be an error with my .env file

This is how I formatted it but it still doesn’t work(check code below),

The .env file is in the same folder as the config file

Is my config file error free?

code for my Config file :

require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require("dotenv").config({ path: ".env" });

const QUICKNODE_HTTP_URL = process.env.QUICKNODE_HTTP_URL;
const PRIVATE_KEY = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY;

module.exports = {
solidity: "0.8.18",
networks: {
sepolia: {
url: QUICKNODE_HTTP_URL,
accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY],
},
},
};

code for my .env file :

QUICKNODE_HTTP_URL="https://distinguished-newest-brook.ethereum-sepolia.discover.quiknode.pro/1fcf0ee98d4fe175e6313c00ee8b09e6e43d470e/"

PRIVATE_KEY="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

I barely see the error message, the image is too blur, do you mind re-upload a new one?

try to change
require("dotenv").config({ path: ".env" });
to
require("dotenv").config()
