Ah-ha, I fell for the forum’s copy-and-paste bug myself. Was puzzling over why it wasn’t working, only to discover that I had been using the invalid curly-quotes from earlier examples. Once I literally straightened them out, it worked!
- Bad:
–global-var “k=v” ; // bad em-dash & curly-quotes
- Good:
--env-var "ev=5999222 ; // good double-minus & straight-quotes"
