fix: codebuild was failing when trying to set an env var with newlines

Acceptance Criteria

Codebuild was failing when trying to set an env var with newlines.

This is a script that demonstrates the problem:

set -e;

export dev_TEST="VALUE WITH     TABS\nAND NEWLINE"

for var in "${!dev_@}"; do
  export ${var#dev_}=${!var}
done

echo $TEST

Running it yelds the error:

test.sh: line 6: export: `TABS\nAND': not a valid identifier

The fix is to make sure we use quotes when assigning the value of the new env var in line 6:

set -e;

export dev_TEST="VALUE WITH     TABS\nAND NEWLINE"

for var in "${!dev_@}"; do
  export ${var#dev_}="${!var}"
done

echo $TEST

Security Checklist

• [ ] Make sure you do not include new dependencies in the project unless strictly necessary and do not include dev-dependencies as production ones. More dependencies increase the possibility of one of them being hijacked and affecting us.
