Issue
I have a GitHub workflow set up, and for some weird reason that I do not know, when I've added a new environment variable (using sed to set it up) this error occurred:
sed: -e expression #1, char 32: unknown option to `s'
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
This is the last lines of the .yml file:
[...]
run: |
npm run build --if-present
# There are a lot of sed commands here which were running as expected
sed -i -e 's/"<API token>"/"${{secrets.API_TOKEN}}"/g' .env # This is one of the commands, it is executed normally with no errors
sed -i -e 's/"<Mongo path>"/"${{secrets.MONGO_PATH}}"/g' .env
# When the line above was added, the error started occurring
Full output:
npm run build --if-present
[...]
sed -i -e 's/"<API token>"/"***"/g' .env
sed -i -e 's/"<Mongo path>"/"***"/g' .env
shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
> [email protected] build
> cp -n .env.example .env
sed: -e expression #1, char 32: unknown option to `s'
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
I have tried replacing the slashes with @ as I saw on other answers but it did not work.
The workflow works perfectly fine without the line I've mentioned.
Solution
Alright, turns out that replacing the slashes with | worked. Apparently, sed was confused as the MongoDB path had a lot of slashes.
