'Can't use an env file with vscode devcontainer: no such file or directory

I followed this short official video to try using an environment file in my devcontainer.json file. I have the same folder architecture than a the video, and my devcontainer.json looks like:

    "name": "myproject",
    "runArgs": [
        "--env-file",
        ".devcontainer/devcontainer.env"
    ],
    "build": {
        "dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
        "context": "..",
        "args": {}
    },

But I keep getting this error: docker: open .devcontainer/devcontainer.env: no such file or directory. when I run the rebuild container or rebuild container without cache.

But the file does exist. I can verify it by running ls .devcontainer/devcontainer.env in my recovery container.

I even versioned the devcontainer.env file and ran Clone Repository in container volume again. Still the same error.

Any idea on what's going on?
