flox What is "floxmeta" and why is it missing?

When i run the following command from a script...

## Running: /usr/local/bin/flox activate -r "aronchick/andaime" -t -- golangci-lint run --fix .flox/env/manifest.toml

❌ ERROR: Failed to get latest version of remote environment: Failed to clone environment: Git failed with: [exit code 128]
  stdout:
  stderr: fatal: remote error: FATAL: invalid repo name: '"aronchick/floxmeta'

When i run it from my full shell, it's fine.

What's your flox version?

If you have something lower than 1.3.0, this may be https://github.com/flox/flox/issues/1820

No i have 1.3.0. It turns out it was because i hadn't pushed the repo to flox cloud.

There's a " in the error that shouldnt be there ("aronchick/floxmeta) There is an implementation for better error messages in the case that the env does not exist on the hub, this however is a bug. Thanks for reporting!

can you still reproduce this, and which shell are you using?

As far as i can tell aronchick/floxmeta is derived from the your -r argument, by splitting the string at /. None of the downstream code is adding quoting to it afaict. to produce "aronchick the shell must have passed the quoting into argv, which is surprising at least.

I can only reproduce this by explicitly passing in a ", i.e. flox activate -r '"owner/name'
