Question

I'm trying to know the list of artisan command by using php artisan list . and the command return me the following error [Dotenv\Exception\InvalidFileException] Dotenv values containing spaces must be surrounded by quotes. What is wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Make sure that:

• all variables with spaces are surrounded by quotes
• there are no semi-colons

Answer 2

Verify your .env file. You need to check for the following:

• Any extra or non-needed spaces
• If you have any strings with spaces, make sure to surround them in quotes

Example:

varaible=123 Test

Needs to be

varaible="123 Test"

Answer 3

You should remove all spaces from .env file to make an app work again.

If you have to use spaces, instead of this:

VAR=some data

Use quotes:

VAR="some data"

Answer 4

First check env.

If your var value with space so check value in double quotes. like,

 MAIL_FROM_NAME="Sarvajanik School"

If you use single quotes then the possible to got this error containing spaces must be surrounded by quotes

Answer 5

if you use two word for username or database name in .env,put it inside a double quotation.
