Hello I have two directories that I am playing with infracost and by mistake was in the parent directory and issued a infracost command perhaps during install or setting the api key There as a infracost directory created in the parent directory and I deleted it The infracost directory should only be in each project directory or my root wherever infracost wants it to be not sure Anyway I deleted the parent directory infracost directory and perhaps concidently whenever I attempt to do anything such as set the api key I always get this message 2022 08 18 19 19 53 Can t separate key from value

Hey Tom wave

The can t separate key from value error normally originates from having a malformed env file within your project path

It normally means theres a variable defined without a mapping in that file

Are you using a env file in any of these directories

Yes I store my notes there Perhaps it could mention that in the error message I can comment out my text in the env Thanks
