Does the pulumi esc support multi line strings? I am trying to store a PEM key as ESC secret but it doesn't seem to work, the same key works if I use pulumi config set command.

Hi Vishal, it should. Maybe a leading/trailing character is sneaking in there?

Did you create them using the table view in UI? I think even in your privateKey, the `\n` is being replaced by a space, which is the same behaviour for me but for some reason, it is not working. I tried many ways to avoid the case of some extra char and with `pulumi config set` those methods work but not with esc.

Funny thing, pulumi didn't work the first time but if I run it a second time, then it works :smile:

yes, I created in table view. glad it's working for you now.

I usually store PEMs as base64 encoded strings...

For setting that in ESC:
`esc env set org/env --secret pulumiConfig.privateKey $(cat cert.pem | base64 | tr -d '\n\r' )`

 For setting that in Pulumi:
`cat cert.pem | base64 | tr -d '\n\r' | pulumi config set --secret --path 'some_path.private_key`
