Summary

• Fixed .env file generation to write environment variables without double quotes
• Changed from KEY="value" format to standard KEY=value format
• Added comprehensive test coverage for environment file generation

Problem

The CLI was generating .env files with double quotes around values:

XPANDER_API_KEY="actual-api-key"
XPANDER_ORGANIZATION_ID="org-id"
XPANDER_AGENT_ID="agent-id"

This caused serious issues because many environment variable parsers treat the quotes as part of the value, leading to authentication failures and configuration problems.

Solution

Updated initialize.ts:257-260 to remove template literal quote wrapping:

Before:

const envVars: any = {
  XPANDER_API_KEY: `"${client.apiKey}"`,
  XPANDER_ORGANIZATION_ID: `"${client.orgId!}"`,
  XPANDER_AGENT_ID: `"${agentId}"`,
};

After:

const envVars: any = {
  XPANDER_API_KEY: client.apiKey,
  XPANDER_ORGANIZATION_ID: client.orgId!,
  XPANDER_AGENT_ID: agentId,
};

Now generates standard format:

XPANDER_API_KEY=actual-api-key
XPANDER_ORGANIZATION_ID=org-id
XPANDER_AGENT_ID=agent-id

Test Plan

• Build passes: npm run build ✅
• All 28 tests pass (4 new tests added) ✅
• ESLint passes with no errors ✅
• Coverage maintained at 96.78% ✅
• CLI commands work: node lib/index.js --version ✅
• CLI commands work: node lib/index.js --help ✅
• New test file validates env format: test/env-generation.test.ts ✅

Test Coverage Added

Created test/env-generation.test.ts with 4 comprehensive test cases:

1. Environment variables written without double quotes
2. Standard KEY=value format validation
3. Special characters handling without quotes
4. Empty values without quotes

Note

Stops quoting values in generated .env and adds tests to enforce standard KEY=value format.

• Agent Initialization (.env generation)
  • Remove quote-wrapping when setting XPANDER_API_KEY, XPANDER_ORGANIZATION_ID, and XPANDER_AGENT_ID in src/commands/agent/interactive/initialize.ts to emit KEY=value (no quotes).
  • Merge logic writes only missing/placeholder values using unquoted values.
• Tests
  • Add test/env-generation.test.ts with cases verifying unquoted values, standard KEY=value format, special character handling, and empty values.

Pay attention @dudutwizer
We're not using npm in the cli, we use yarn :)
