What steps will reproduce the bug?
With a .env of:
ESCAPE_TEST="{\"foo\":\"bar\"}"
Run:
node --env-file .env -e "console.log(process.env.ESCAPE_TEST)"
How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
Always
What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?
I would expect the \ in \" to be stripped:
{"foo":"bar"}
What do you see instead?
{\"foo\":\"bar\"}

It seems to operate incompatible with
dotenv.It behaves differently from the behavior defined in the document, and it does not seem to be the behavior we want.
Please refer to below.

Indeed, my bad! I fell into the same
require('dotenv').parsetrap as the one mentioned in the PR.Thanks, closing!
