Usage Limitations, how to work around?

[usamakzafar]

I'm facing the github error (limit 65536 characters).
When using this in for my real repo with multiple contributors, I get this error:

RequestError [HttpError]: Validation Failed: {"resource":"Issue","code":"custom","field":"body","message":"body is too long"}, {"resource":"Issue","code":"custom","field":"body","message":"body is too long (maximum is 65536 characters)"}

What's a good workaround I can use? I can see that the report was generated, only the posting failed. Is there anywhere else I could download the MD file from?

Right now there are only 2 options that I see.

1. Inputs values. You can change configuration via inputs. Hide unnecessary information. For example, you can use only one method for AGGREGATE_VALUE_METHODS or hide some tables via SHOW_STATS_TYPES input. Another way to reduce size of the body is to hide users via HIDE_USERS. In case you need all information in report, try to split it in different reports via REPORT_DATE_START и REPORT_DATE_END
2. You can get markdown string as an output and split it manually. Post it as an issue and comment after it.

I'm aware of this problem. I will handle it later. I hope my options help you.

I needed to see the users.. I used theSHOW_STATS_TYPES for now, but I still would like to generate the entire data together.
Splitting by dates was going to be my last resort, as I'll have to start aggregating several tables myself.

🤔
how can I get the MD as a string?

Thanks for all your efforts btw!

By setting EXECUTION_OUTCOME == output?

[AlexSim93]

Yep!

[usamakzafar]

EXECUTION_OUTCOME: output seems to be an invalid input

Released fix

Super fast! Checking now

Well the validation seems to pass, so does the entire workflow. But unfortunately I'm not seeing any output in the console log. Do I need to get it somewhere manually?

You can access data on the next step via outputs

Got it, thanks a lot! Closing this issue
