Gramex "$YAMLPATH" failing crashing - gramex

Question

WORKING SCENARIO
When the gramex is ran with the following gramex.yaml:
schedule:
create-job-startup:
thread: true
function: >
logging.critical("hello world")
startup: "*"
The output we get, as expected, is:
DEBUG CRITICAL20-Sep 19:27:22 20-Sep 19:27:22 gramex__init__ hello world
FAILING SCENARIO
When the gramex is ran with the following gramex.yaml:
schedule:
create-job-startup:
thread: true
function: >
logging.critical("$YAMLPATH")
startup: "*"
The output we get, as expected, is:

Answer 1

Use raw (r"...") string,
For example:
schedule:
create-job-startup:
thread: true
function: >
logging.critical(r"$YAMLPATH")
