Cant deploy my gatsby site because of env variables

[Jinksi]

I have had a similar issue using a Firebase private key as an env variable.

If it is a similar issue, you could try processing the GATSBY_PRIVATE_KEY with JSON.parse()

credentials: {
  client_email: GATSBY_CLIENT_EMAIL,
  private_key: GATSBY_PRIVATE_KEY[0] === '-' ? GATSBY_PRIVATE_KEY : JSON.parse(GATSBY_PRIVATE_KEY)
}

See previous post:

Using Firebase Admin SDK with Lambda Function

Hey @AnthonyFromTheVault I came across the same problem and I ended up running the production variable through JSON.parse() to correctly format the key in production. I continued to use dotenv for local and production env variables, with this ternary condition: const { FB_PRIVATE_KEY } = process.env const serviceCredential = { // ... privateKey: FB_PRIVATE_KEY[0] === '-' ? FB_PRIVATE_KEY : JSON.parse(FB_PRIVATE_KEY), // ... }
