Nodejs - url Parameter must be a string, not undefined

Everytime i navigate to the relativ path i get following error:

TypeError: Parameter "url" must be a string, not undefined
at Url.parse (url.js:103:11)

My get method looks like:

app.get('/v1/locations', (req, res) => {
const fixieUrl = url.parse(process.env.FIXIE_URL);
const requestedUrl= url.parse('api.clashofclans.com' + req.path);

const options = {
    host: fixieUrl.hostname,
    port: fixieUrl.port,
    path: requestedUrl.href,
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        Authorization: 'Bearer **token**',
        'Proxy-Authorization': `Basic ${new Buffer(fixieUrl.auth).toString('base64')}`
    }
};

I definately added the .env file with the FIXIE_URL so what could it be?

base on your comment since process.env.FIXIE_URL is undefined. It means the env variable is not set. so to fix this you can do this when start ur node app

export FIXIE_URL='yourUrl' npm start // or however you start ur node app

or add this yourUrl in a constant file which you load it from there.

or save export FIXIE_URL='yourUrl' in your OS profile

Try req.url instead of process.env.FIXIE_URL

Update

It's better to separate these.

In the .env file set, and use these in url.js:

FIXIE_URL_HOST=someUrl
FIXIE_URL_PORT=80
