Can't use $ in strings as expected in reckoner 6

[Azahorscak]

What happened?

When passing in a string with $'s in them i'm unable to escape the $ as expected. This fails with the following message.

Course file has schema validation errors - error opening course file course.yml: Course file has schema validation errors

What did you expect to happen?

The string to be treated the same as in reckoner 5 and the diff command to succeed.

How can we reproduce this?

You can include a string in the course file that has a $ in the value.

• name: EXAMPLE_VAR value: 'example$var'

~In your example to reproduce the issue, you only have a single $. Have you tried example$$var ?~

Edit: Misunderstood the problem

[sudermanjr]

I still cannot reproduce the error. Can you please try with the latest RC of 6.1.0? I did this on Version:6.1.0-rc.3 Commit:069b95f3dfbcb496cb9f890970c8545546e2cf63

 SECRET_TEST='foo$foo' reckoner template /tmp/course.yaml -a

Hello I believe I might be running into the same problem.

How are you supposed to escape $ in string ? I believe it was using $$ but I'm running into the following error

In one of my chart values I need to escape a PHP symbol

nextcloud:
  host: cloud.rockit.dance
  containerport: 8082
  configs:
    domains.config.php: |-
      <?php
      $$CONFIG = array (
        'trusted_domains' =>
          array (
            0 => '192.168.2.*',
            1 => 'cloud.example.com',
          )
      );

and I have the following error

ERROR: environment variable CONFIG is not set
Course file has schema validation errors - error opening course file core.yaml: Course file has schema validation errors

I'll try updating reckoner to see it it works

EDIT : moving the values to a file seems to work as variable seem not to work in files

releases:
  - name: nextcloud
    ...
    files:
      - ./values/nextcloud.yml
