03/18/2022, 8:03 PMHi. I'm reading the docs (https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/functions/#adding-environment-variables-locally) and wondering why
only has one of the quotes escaped with a backslash. When I set a variable like that and use--binding ENV_NAME=\"ENV_VALUE"
in my function, it outputs the value asconsole.log
. Is that backslash a typo?\\ENV_VALUE - l

03/19/2022, 6:17 PMI have submitted the "Functions Limit Increase on Cloudflare Pages" form - l

03/19/2022, 6:20 PMI'd really appreciate any help here 🙏 - l

03/19/2022, 6:32 PMI've worked around it for now but it's taking away functionality. Can't I just pay for my usage? :/ - k

03/19/2022, 6:33 PMNot whilst Functions are in beta, no - your only hope is waiting for that form to be processed - l

03/19/2022, 6:47 PMTrying to think if I can workaround this using workers - i

03/19/2022, 6:57 PMTry using Workers Sites. - l

03/19/2022, 6:58 PMI imagine it'll take too long to change how the main site is deployed, plus DNS - l

03/19/2022, 7:03 PM@User Workers Sites seems overkill. Just moving the Function to Worker is easy enough - w
Walshy | Pages
03/19/2022, 7:03 PMI mean the function is a worker - l

03/19/2022, 7:04 PM@User can you try https://a436de85.backofyourhand.pages.dev/ please? - w

03/19/2022, 7:05 PMWhat am I trying about it? - i
Isaac McFadyen | YYZ01
03/19/2022, 7:05 PMOh yeah duh, I'm using to something like SvelteKit where it's all or nothing. - l

03/19/2022, 7:05 PM@User does it redirect ok and do you see a (not blank) map of a nearby city? e.g. - w

03/19/2022, 7:06 PMIt does redirect and yep map works fine - w

03/19/2022, 7:07 PMok thanks. On prod, it seems to serving an old deploy intermittently for me (the old one points at a function) - w

03/19/2022, 7:08 PMI'm triggering another deploy in hopes it helps - i
Isaac McFadyen | YYZ01
03/19/2022, 7:08 PMWith SvelteKit you can't use the adapter and a single Function cause it compiles to a
, you either have to stay inside the SvelteKit ecosystem (for example using SvelteKit's Endpoints which are basically like Functions) or move the entire project to static and use DIY Functions._worker.js - i
Isaac McFadyen | YYZ01
03/19/2022, 7:08 PMSo if I wanted to move my site to Workers from Functions for example, I would need to move the whole thing and not just the single Function. - i
Isaac McFadyen | YYZ01
03/19/2022, 7:09 PMI could call an external Worker with fetch etc but then it wouldn't be integrated.
