New Lines In Config Printed with '

[cancan101]

I set a config variable TEST to a\na (and confirmed that this worked), but the CLI prints:

TEST=a'
'a

Right now, the CLI shell-escapes the variables it outputs (this might change in the future, as it can indeed be non-ideal in some cases, but for now that's the behavior).

Now, although I'm inclined to agree it's aesthetically unpleasing; technically, this formatting is a correct representation of your input:

sh-3.2$ TEST=a'
> 'a

sh-3.2$ printf "$TEST"
a
a

Is this a problem for you? If so, can you please clarify how? More information on your use case might at the very least help us in deciding whether shell-escaping is indeed the right thing to do.

Thanks!

This bug caused a config problem for us until we figured it out. One of our env vars has an @ character which displays escaped when you run aptible config. We were setting up a new stack and copied the output of that command which in turn wrote the wrong data on the new env var on the new stack.
