Hi. Getting a 500 when visiting the deployed site and receiving the following error in the logs even though the app is working fine when testing locally. The Firebase private key has been added in the Site config > Env Variables. Can’t seem to figure out how to fix the issue in Netlify. Guidance is appreciated.

May 5, 11:15:00 AM: 66ad90b6 ERROR 18:15:00 [ERROR] Error: Failed to parse private key: Error: Invalid PEM formatted message.

Solved by adding .split("\\n").join("\n") after private_key.

e.g. private_key: import.meta.env.FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY.split(“\n”).join(“\n”),

Solution at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59997367/how-can-i-make-netlify-parse-a-very-long-private-key-that-i-put-in-their-environ

Netlify team: Would be great to add this tip in the error message since it’s not clear how to resolve it. Thanks.
