Hi @worldly herald. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The error message you're seeing typically indicates that there's an issue with the formatting of your private key. However, without more context, it's hard to provide a specific solution.

In the context of Astro and Firebase, you should ensure that your Firebase private key is correctly added to your .env file. The key should be assigned to the FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY variable. Here's an example of how your .env file should look:

FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY

Replace YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY with your actual private key. Make sure there are no extra spaces or characters. If your private key includes line breaks, you might need to replace them with \n.

If you're still having trouble, I recommend checking the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/) for more information.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Hi @worldly herald I've deleted your question as your private key should be kept secret. I'd recommend resetting it before you continue. I'm afraid I don't know why you're receiving this error though 🤔

I'm afraid I'm not sure. Just to check, if you're not already, can you wrap your variable in quotes?

MY_VAR="Hello
world
wide
web"
