Are there restrictions on what I can store in an environment variable? I am having a flow registration fail because of an environment variable. The environment variable looks like this:

"RANDOM_TOOL_VERSION": ": Guppy Basecalling Software, (C) Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Limited. Version 4.2.2+effbaf84"

Here is a sample flow registration that is similar to what I am doing: (The error I was getting is in a comment at the bottom of the file)

@Zach what happens when you remove the colon from the value of

RANDOM_TOOL_VERSION

?

E       docker.errors.APIError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error ("Syntax error - can't find = in "Basecalling". Must be of the form: name=value")

Instead of

Guppy

it says

Basecalling

experiencing similar issue — were you able to resolve @Zach?

@Mitchell Bregman I ended up just removing the colon and everything so that the environment variable was a lot simpler
