pypi deployment error: invalid option "--password="

Question

I am trying to setup the deployment to pypi but I get an error after the test is build. My travis-ci file is here:

https://github.com/EnlightNS/enlightns-cli/blob/master/.travis.yml

I used the setup pypi command line which generated the section in my .travis.yml file.

travis setup pypi

The build failure is here:

https://travis-ci.org/EnlightNS/enlightns-cli/jobs/78112477

The error is this one here:

Fetching: dpl-1.7.21.gem (100%)
Successfully installed dpl-1.7.21
1 gem installed
invalid option "--password="
failed to deploy

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Regards

From issue 327 (opened by the OP), that was because the password had special characters in it.

And the docs.travis-ci on encryption-key does mention the need to escape special characters such as braces, parentheses, backslashes, and pipe symbols.

For example, when you want to assign the string 6&a(5!1Ab\ to FOO, you need to execute:

travis encrypt "FOO=6\\&a\\(5\\!1Ab\\\\"

travis encrypts the string FOO=6\&a\(5\!1Ab\\, which then bash uses to evaluate in the build environment.

Equivalently, you can do:

travis encrypt 'FOO=6\&a\(5\!1AB\\'
