Getting ValueError: CONFIG is not a valid JSON

[KaranS-hexaware]

PS C:\Rapidx_Documentation> docker run -it --env-file=.env -e "CONFIG=$(cat ./config.json | jq -r tostring)" algolia/docsearch-scraper

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/src/config/config_loader.py", line 101, in _load_config data = json.loads(config, object_pairs_hook=OrderedDict) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/init.py", line 367, in loads return cls(**kw).decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/decoder.py", line 339, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx) json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 2 (char 1)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any suggestions?

Running on windows? That cat and jq command won't run on windows. You need config.json as a single string.

Could you explain it better? How should my command look like on windows or what should i change in the config.json file?

cat and jq are not native to Windows OS, you need to use alternatves to be able to read a file and stringify its output.

In the end, the CONFIG variable must hold the stringified version of your JSON config, you can use any online tool to achieve it.

I'm closing this issue as it has been inactive, feel free to re-open if necessary.

Also I believe there's an issue already closed with much more detail, I'd recommend you to search in them for Windows solutions

Using git bash solved my problem.

Glad to hear that!!
