Hi! Not sure if it’s a bug, but here’s a report of a strange issue I just experienced
I have a private key in .env
that contains spaces, so I wrap it into quotes:
PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nEEIAJDIO...."
When I try to use it, the \n
are not translated to new lines, so the key is invalid.
console.log(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY)
//-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nEEIAJDIO....
I have to do this replacement, which oddly enough seems to work, suggesting that new lines are escaped:
process.env.PRIVATE_KEY=process.env.PRIVATE_KEY.replace(/\\n/g, '\n')
console.log(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY)
//-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
//EEIAJDIO...."
That said, is there a way to use private environment variables with spaces?
