Page guide

Check environment assignments for duplicate names, malformed values and unclosed quotes without exposing values in the report.

How to use Environment file validator
  1. Paste the environment file.
  2. Review line-numbered syntax and duplicate-assignment issues.
  3. Correct the input and download the value-free validation report.

Useful next steps

Use an explicit dotenv dialect

Paste name=value assignments using the portable dialect described below. Optional export prefixes and comments are supported. Values are text. Quotes can span physical lines, while unquoted values end at the line or an unquoted # comment. This is not a shell or a Docker Compose interpreter.

Find problems without printing secrets

Each issue has a fixed explanation and its one-based starting line. The report does not echo values, variable names, source lines or neighboring text. Duplicate assignments are errors, rather than silently accepting the last value.

Separate syntax from working credentials

A clean result means the file fits this dialect. It does not establish that an application recognizes each name, that required variables exist or that a credential works. Backslash escapes and variable references stay literal.
