load_dotenv doesn't parse correctly multiline values when dotenv_path is specified

[anton-grigorita]

Hi,
I have my .env file that is on the root folder, this file contains 2 variables AUTH_SECRET_KEY and AUTH_PUBLIC_KEY:

AUTH_SECRET_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIJQgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCCSwwggkoAgEAAoICAQCjzCSceGqoqhu7
...
8lzTleijN6gNpU38Tc87Y6Gr8z92ng==
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"

AUTH_PUBLIC_KEY="-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIICIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAg8AMIICCgKCAgEAo8wknHhqqKobu/aHq9Pl
...
1VWK3SkMp3DAzxTHnVV2y6ECAwEAAQ==
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----"

In my project im loading this data from the file config.py that is located under ./src/core/config.py
and my .env file is under the project root folder, for that reason im using load_dotenv() specifying the dotenv_path parameter

load_dotenv(dotenv_path=pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.parent / ".env")

after that i print with os.environ

print(os.environ)

and I get that those 2 variables declared in the .env file (which are written in multi lines) are not correctly parsed but only the first line is red

'AUTH_SECRET_KEY': '"-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----', 'AUTH_PUBLIC_KEY': '"-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----'

While if I move the .env file under the same folder of config.py and use only load_dotenv()

load_dotenv()

the vars gets parsed in the correct way.
Is this a bug?
I couldn't find anything on Stackoverflow and not even there on Github.

If you are using VS Code, it might be due to the settings of Python:Env File in VS Code. It seems that there is a problem with the multi-line support for the.env file in the Python runtime environment configured in VS Code. After I cleared the Python:Env File setting here, it was able to run normally.

@xuyinkui really thanks for this info,
going to remove the string present in that settings in VSCode resolved my problem.
Really thanks
