Setting multi-line env variable about envkey-app HOT 9 CLOSED

I see - I'll work on getting a multiline solution in soon!

from envkey-app.

Hi @methyl! There is not currently baked-in multiline support, but it's on the short-term roadmap. In the meantime, can you perhaps get around it with embedded \n characters?

from envkey-app.

I tried \n, but it seems to somehow encode them as they appear literally in the exported env variable. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

from envkey-app.

Awesome, let me know!

@methyl Sorry for the delay on this - multiline values are now handled smoothly as of 1.3.5

from envkey-app.

It still doesn't work:

$ echo $TEST
FIRST LINE SECOND LINE
$

BTW, I think it's not a great idea to align-center the value.

from envkey-app.

This seems to be an issue on the envkey-source side - will get that straightened out.

And yeah, agreed on alignment.

from envkey-app.

@methyl Ok, this actually does work with envkey-source, but requires slightly different syntax to preserve newlines.

Instead of:

$ eval $(envkey-source) 
$ echo $TEST

You need:

$ eval "$(envkey-source)"
$ echo "$TEST"

I'll update the envkey-source docs to reflect this.

@methyl Multi-line values are no longer center-aligned in 1.3.6.
