How to use Multiline variable in windows 11 in Heroku Config? - heroku

I am using the below Node.js code and it works fine in macOS and Linux but when executed on a windows machine it fails to understand that PRIVATE_KEY is a multiline variable.
sh.exec(
`heroku config:set PRIVATE_KEY="${sh.env.PRIVATE_KEY}" -a ${sh.env.HEROKU_APP_NAME}`,
{ silent: true }
);
sh.env.PRIVATE_KEY is a variable that has a multiline string.

run bash script in PowerShell with ssh fails with invalid format

I created a simple bash script that runs fine on Ubuntu 18/20.
Decided to port it onto PowerShell.
I start PowerShell in Windows 10.
Then type: ssh 192.168.1.56
This allows me to reach the target.
(the key is located in /c/users/joe90/.ssh/)
On the other hand, the bash script does the same thing:
#!/bin/bash
ssh 192.168.1.56
Yet, I keep getting this error:
load pubkey "/c/Users/joe90/.ssh/mykey-xyz": invalid format
The only thing I was able to sort out is that typing from PowerShell:
ssh -V
return ==> OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.7p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5
But when the myBash.sh bash script runs (/usr/bin/bash ...):
ssh -V
return --> OpenSSH_8.3p1 ...
Any thoughts ?
Additional Notes:
The answer seems to lie here. It does ssh onto target but always leave this error mentioned. I tried to make a public key with no success.
Run
/usr/bin/ssh 192.168.1.56
instead (assuming this is the one you want to run).
Verify it using
/usr/bin/ssh -V
form bash, or
sh -c '/usr/bin/ssh -V'
from powershell.
Any time I see "invalid format" while using Windows Subsystem for Linux, I run dos2unix on that file and that seems to clear up a lot of errors. In WSL you just type: dos2unix fileName.txt

How to force ansible to use sudo terminal when connecting to remote server

I am trying to use sudo terminal when connecting to remote server. Here is the current settings:
[localhost]-->key already shared-->[remote server]
But when I ssh into remote server, It does not take me directly to bash, it take me to another propitiatory CLI and I have to manually type "shell" on that CLI to login into bash.
[localhost]-->key already shared-->[remote server cli]--->[remote server bash]
So , following command will take me to CLI not bash, where remote host is 1.2.34
localhost> ssh user#1.2.3.4
whereas ,following command will open bash directly:
localhost> ssh user#1.2.3.4 -t bash
question is how to make ansible to by default internally run -t bash with it.
What about
chpass -s bash
or just
chpass
to reset the default shell?
Ansible will use a non-interactive session, that should read the.bash_profile. Depending on what you want to do, eg. are you trying to execute shell in ansible, this thread may also help,

Log in to Heroku via bash script

I try to write a script in which I call some command from heroku toolbelt. Script works fine till I am login to heroku toolbelt. When I've tried to add heroku's login command during script execution I occured some problems - there is no in heroku toolbelt command such as (command with parameters):
heroku login -u email#mail.com -p 1234qwer
That why I have no idea how to execute heroku login command in bash script. Has anyone got some advice?
For these kinds of things I use expect.
You need to install expect first. If you're on Ubuntu run sudo apt-get install expect
Then in a script, let's call it heroku_login.exp, enter this with the relevant information:
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn heroku "login"
expect "Email:"
send "YOUREMAIL";
send "\r"
expect "Password (typing will be hidden):"
send "YOURPASSWORD"
send "\r"
interact
Then run expect heroku_login.exp and you should be good to go.
An easier solution to this problem may be to just set the HEROKU_API_KEY environment variable. The Heroku toolbelt will then automatically log you in using that key.

heroku pg: pull not fetching tables from heroku database

I'm trying to pull a heroku database to my local Windows computer by using heroku bash command
heroku pg:pull HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR mydatabase --app appname,
when I running above command I get the following error:
'env' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.!
But local database 'mydatabase' is created, but without any tables.
My heroku app's database has a table in it, but it is not getting pulled to my local database.
Help me to solve it.
a couple of things:
1.When there is an error such as "'env' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" it means that the system is trying to execute a command named env. This has nothing to do at all with setting up your environment variables.
Env is not a command in windows, but in unix. I understand that you have a windows machine though. What you can do is run "git bash". (You could get it by itself but it comes with Heroku's CLI).
This gives you a unix-like environment where the "env" command is supported, and then you can run the actual heroku pg:pull command.
2.If that still doesn't work, there is a workaround which works,without installing anything extra. Actually this is based on a ticket which I submitted to Heroku so I'm just going to quote their response:
"The pg:push command is just a wrapper around pg_dump and pg_restore commands. Due to the bug you encountered, it sounds like we should go ahead and do things manually. Run these using cmd.exe (The Command Prompt application you first reported the bug). First grab the connection string from your heroku application config vars.
heroku config:get DATABASE_URL
Then you want to pick out the username / hostname / databasename parts from the connection string, ie: postgres:// username : password # hostname : port / databasename. Use those variables in the following command and paste in the password when prompted for one. This will dump the contents of your heroku database for a local file.
pg_dump --verbose -F c -Z 0 -U username -h hostname -p port databasename > heroku.dump
Next you will load this file into your local database. One thing that the CLI does before running this command is to check and make sure the target database is empty, because running this against a database with real data is something you want to avoid so be careful with pg_restore. When running this manually you run the risk of mangling your data without the CLI check, so you may want to manually verify that the target database is empty first.
pg_restore --verbose --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -p 5432 -d mydb2 < heroku.dump
I am sorry this is not a better experience, I hope this will help you make progress. We are in the process of rewriting our pg commands so that they work better on all platforms including windows, but there is no solid timeline for when this will be completed."
For taking backup like dump file in heroku firstly you need the backups addon, installing..
$heroku addons:add pgbackups
Then running below command will give you dump file in the name of latest
$ heroku pgbackups:capture
$ curl -o latest.dump `heroku pgbackups:url`
or
wget "`heroku pgbackups:url --app app-name`" -O backup.dump
Edited:(After chatting with user,)
Problem: 'env' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.!
I suspected that one of the PATH variable to particular program is messed up. You can double click and check that in WINDOWS\system32 folder.
Ok so How to edit it:
My Computer > Advanced > Environment Variables
Then choose PATH and click edit button

How can I interact with a Vagrant shell provisioning script?

I have a shell provisioning script that invokes a command that requires user input - but when I run vagrant provision, the process hangs at that point in the script, as the command is waiting for my input, but there is nowhere to give it. Is there any way around this - i.e. to force the script to run in some interactive mode?
The specifics are that I creating a clean Ubuntu VM, and then invoking the Heroku CLI to download a database backup (this is in my provisioning script):
curl -o /tmp/db.backup `heroku pgbackups:url -a myapp`
However, because this is a clean VM, and therefore this is the first time that I have run an Heroku CLI command, I am prompted for my login credentials. Because the script is being managed by Vagrant, there is no interactive shell attached, and so the script just hangs there.
If you want to pass temporary input or variables to a Vagrant script, you can have them enter their credentials as temporary environment variables for that command by placing them first on the same line:
username=x password=x vagrant provision
and access them from within Vagrantfile as
$u = ENV['username']
$p = ENV['password']
Then you can pass them as an argument to your bash script:
config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
s.inline: "echo username: $1, password: $2"
s.args: [$u, $p]
end
You can install something like expect in the vm to handle passing those variables to the curl command.
I'm assuming you don't want to hard code your credentials in plain text thus trying to force an interactive mode.
Thing is just as you I don't see such option in vagrant provision doc ( http://docs.vagrantup.com/v1/docs/provisioners/shell.html ) so one way or another you need to embed the authentication within your script.
Have you thought about using something like getting a token and use the heroku REST Api instead of the CLI?
