Problem Description

Previously as i was deployng a stack from a git repository i was able to reference an environment file with "env_file: service.env"in the service, and the corresponding service.env file in the repository

This doesn't work in 2.24.0, and receive a file not found error.

Expected Behavior

As in 2.23.0 the stack should be deployed and env file should be read

Actual Behavior

Stack is not deployed with message "service.env file not found"

Steps to Reproduce

Have a stack from git with service.env files, referenced via "env_file: service.env" in compose definition
deploy with protainer 2.23.0 and it works
upgrade to portainer 2.24.0
try to deploy tha stack, it will not work
