🐛 Bug Report

I can not deploy my docusaurus site. I try:
cmd /C "set "GIT_USER=novoselovaleksandr" USE_SSH=true && yarn deploy"
and i get an error:

This is a part of my docusaurus.config.js

what am I doing wrong?

my repository

Hi,

I don't know enough about windows nor have a windows computer to test this, but maybe you could try to use echo % GIT_USER% or something in the command to verify that the env variable is set correctly?

I guess the syntax may also depend on the Windows kind of shell you use.

You'd rather ask for help to the community on discord, I'm pretty sure you'll find someone that is able to deploy from Windows here

I've had a similar issue before where I needed to change the quotes - so for your example you may need to do the following:

cmd /C "set 'GIT_USER=novoselovaleksandr' USE_SSH=true && yarn deploy"
Notice the single quotes vs. double.

I will say I just ran cmd /C "set "GIT_USER=jeremyhager" && yarn deploy" within command prompt and it seemed to work just fine. However PowerShell will treat quotes differently, which is how I am assuming this is being deployed in your environment:

The differences here are that PowerShell sees the quotes in "set " as the command to run, but when switching for single-quotes PowerShell now recognizes the full command. Perhaps working on a request to update the Windows documentation is in order.

Thanks, can you try again with simple quotes @novoselovaleksandr ?

Also, any help to improve windows doc is welcome ;)

Faced same error. Switching to window's default cmd worked.

This also happened to me on Macos, so I can confirm it's not a Windows thing.

I'm also facing this issue

[WARNING] When deploying to GitHub Pages, it is better to use an explicit "trailingSlash" site config.
Otherwise, GitHub Pages will add an extra trailing slash to your site urls only on direct-access (not when navigation) with a server redirect.
This behavior can have SEO impacts and create relative link issues.
