Laravel vapor deployment error

Hi everyone,

I'm trying Laravel Vapor but I've got a weird problem. When I try to deploy my app I've got this error

  Loading composer repositories with package information

Here is my .env file

APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local

APP_DEBUG=true

PFKE_USERAGENT="XX XXXXXXXXX ([email protected])"

GMOD_BASEURL="https://xxxxxx:5665/v1/"
GMOD_USERNAME=xxxxxxxxxxxx
GMOD_PASSWORD="xxxxxxxxxx"

I'm only able to deploy if all PFKE and GMOD keys are not in the .env file

Can you spot the problem here ?

Thank you
