Document that exec-env does not work when encrypted values are of types other than strings #1167
Description
The following runs fine:
{
"database_password": "123"
}but if you switch to
{
"database_password": 123
}
you get
% sops exec-env secrets/service-accounts/out.json 'echo secret: $database_password'
panic: interface conversion: interface {} is float64, not string
