Unexpected environment variable value

Hello! I face weird behavior when setting GOCACHE=off.
When I use

      - run:
          name: Setup environment
          command: |
            echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> $BASH_ENV
            echo 'export GOROOT=/usr/local/go' >> $BASH_ENV
            echo 'export GOCACHE=off' >> $BASH_ENV
            echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin' >> $BASH_ENV
      - run:
          name: Check envs
          command: go env

GOCACHE is set correctly to “of”, but when doing

      - run:
          name: Setup environment
          command: |
            echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> $BASH_ENV
            echo 'export GOROOT=/usr/local/go' >> $BASH_ENV
            echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin' >> $BASH_ENV
      - run:
          name: Check envs
          environment:
            GOCACHE: off
          command: go env

I see GOCACHE=“0” which then leads to build errors as go tries to access directory named “0”.
Any suggestions?

What happens if you put it in quotes, such as GOCACHE: "off" ?

I’m wondering if the build agent (which is written in golang) is treating off as a boolean instead of a string for some strange reason.

Yep, with quotes that works as expected, thanks!

Awesome! Very glad to hear.
