OK there ll be two issues here first getting it passed the toml parser Then the environment vars don t expect multiline strings and will only use the first line ```In 1 import re In 2 r = re compile r A Za z w = In 3 var = JWT SECRET= BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY SOME KEY TEXT== END RSA PRIVATE KEY In 4 var Out 4 JWT SECRET= BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY nSOME KEY TEXT== n END RSA PRIVATE KEY In 5 print var JWT SECRET= BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY SOME KEY TEXT== END RSA PRIVATE KEY In 6 r match var Out 6 lt re Match object span= 0 42 match= JWT SECRET= BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY gt In 7 6 1 Out 7 JWT SECRET In 8 6 2 Out 8 BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY In 9 ``` Regexp from Used here ``` name value match = name value re match env var if name value match check and set name value match 1 name value match 2 ```

I d try with only having the name in the `pants toml` file and define the env var in the env invoking pants That way the value will be picked up as defined Does that make sense and is it a workable approach for your use case < stale nightfall 29801>

Thanks Andreas that s actually preferable over putting it in the `pants toml` as the test environment already has them defined
