JSON file in env var value not being parsed

[tmaslen]

I have an env var that I'm storing a JSON object in. It works in my bash_profile like this...

export JSON='{ "foo": "bar" }'

IntelliJ picks it up, everything works fine except.

However, when I try to add it into IntelliJ using EnvFile I get this error...

Illegal unquoted character ((CTRL-CHAR, code 10)): has to be escaped using backslash to be included in string value

Is this a known/expected issue with EnvFile? Will it ever support JSON as a value in an env var?

Thanks (really like EnvFile), Tom

Can you provide me with a concrete file contents? Does it look like?

JSON='{ "foo": "bar" }'

It's also important to know what parser do you use.
