parse include "$" line error

[kasuganosora]

m, err := godotenv.Unmarshal("MAIL_PASSWORD=cy8$V2dABC")
assert.Nil(t, err)
assert.Equal(t, "cy8$V2dABC", m["MAIL_PASSWORD"])

Expected :cy8$V2dABC
Actual :cy8dABC

works for me if escaped $

so basically it's cy8\$V2dABC, for you

Ya, I have spent a few hours for debugging this, it cause me a lot of pain, do we have any better solution?

Expected :cy8$V2dABC Actual :cy8dABC

You can also handle it by using single quotes.
your .env file:

PASS='cy8$V2dABC'

And you can access PASS simply like this:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	_ "github.com/joho/godotenv/autoload"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("PASS:", os.Getenv("PASS")) // PASS: cy8$V2dABC
}
