bug: Environment variables containing # are cut off

[tdeekens]

Node.js version

22

NPM version

10

@checkly/cli version

4.9.1

Steps to reproduce

Create any check (API or Browser). This check must contain an environment variable (secret or not) such as:

environmentVariables: [
 {
    key: 'FOO',
    value: 'bar#baz',
    secret: true,
 },
]

What is expected?

The environment variable should be deployed under the check itself with the value bar#baz. When deploying it as an environment variable it's visible it's cropped off. When using a secret not directly but when entered e.g. into a password field the string is noticeable shorter.

What is actually happening?

Said environment variable is however saved as bar. So essentially cropped off at the #.

Any additional comments?

I've noticed the same in the Checkly UI when trying to update the environment variable. At first it appears to be saved as bar#baz but when saving and reloading it again is cropped at bar.

This seems to correlate with the release of the Secrets for sensitive data release. Of course this is just a guess.

Hello @tdeekens,

Thanks for the report, I'm taking a look and will get back to you asap. Thanks!

@tdeekens I can't reproduce the issue, having an environment variable (clear, locked and/or secret) with a value as foo#bar doesn't cause any trouble on my end.

Could you send me over (in our Slack community or by email at [email protected]) your accountId - checkId so I can take a look?

Closing as I believe this issue was resolved (or rather, could not be reproduced). Thank you for the report regardless!
