Run Laravel command dependent on environment variables

Generally speaking when wanting to see the routes locally I'd use

php artisan route:list

That worked fine when I wasn't dealing with files that use environment variables which are declared differently between my local environment and the server. Now I get

PHP Notice: Undefined index: VARIABLE_NAME in ....php on line 12

Notice: Undefined index: VARIABLE_NAME in ....php on line 12

In particular, in the server I use

if (!defined('VARIABLE_NAME')) { define('VARIABLE_NAME', $_SERVER['VARIABLE_NAME']); }

$variable = env('VARIABLE_NAME') ? env('VARIABLE_NAME') : VARIABLE_NAME;

Basically the difference between the server and the local environment would be the following part (which locally I don't use and is where the conflict is at because there's no $_SERVER['VARIABLE_NAME']))

if (!defined('VARIABLE_NAME')) { define('VARIABLE_NAME', $_SERVER['VARIABLE_NAME']); }

Tested other variations too, like

if (!defined('VARIABLE_NAME') or !getenv('VARIABLE_NAME')) { define('VARIABLE_NAME', $_SERVER['VARIABLE_NAME']); }

I could change the change the code locally and ignore the file. Yet this is a file that can change frequently, so that's not ideal.

In light of the goal (see the route list), what would be the most convenient way? By convenient I mean without having to declare the variables one in the shell or having to mantain different files for both local and server.

Based in this answer, before running

php artisan route:list

I'd run

set -o allexport
source .env
set +o allexport

and then was able to see the routes just fine
