Read issues when value has '$' character about serverless-dotenv-plugin HOT 9 CLOSED

Thank you, I have made the suggested change and this workaround is working as expected.

Thanks @neverendingqs !

The library passes all values to dotenv-expand: https://github.com/colynb/serverless-dotenv-plugin/blob/79d8ad4b182bff3e11b62bf7fd80ba5485c2e05f/index.js#L74. dotenv-expand sees $456 as a variable to look up and replaces $456 with its value (in your case, it looks like it's replacing it with the empty string).

It looks like dotenv-expand doesn't like !, so it stops there.

You can see this in action with the following .env file:

456=HI
TEST_1=123$456!@#%^&*()

TEST_1 will become 123HI!@#%^&*().

To work around this, you can use \ to escape $ (based on https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv-expand/blob/master/test/.env#L7) and my tests with the following .env file:

TEST_1=123\$456!@#%^&*()

This might be another reason to try to get #48 merged. This will allow users to choose to bypass the dotenv-expand functionality.

@neverendingqs, @colynb The workaround is not working for me.
For the input value of
TEST="8k73fe1CDu4a%3v7FJR%&o61KHf@w!!3t8NJTdT%jn\$iSRIP^9J6pzf3P4Ulfjaw"
The output is
process.env.TEST="8k73fe1CDu4a%3v7FJR%&o61KHf@w!!3t8NJTdT%jn^9J6pzf3P4Ulfjaw"

It still replaces the $iSRIP part with an empty string.

I have tried with single/double/without quotes.

FYI [email protected] introduced #116, which allows you to turn off this behaviour.

@neverendingqs the workaround didn't work for me either, I'm using [email protected], where do we can turn-off that behaviour?
