Overview of the Issue

I'm experiencing this with bitbucket.

Today, the comment that atlantis posts to a bitbucket PR is formatted with a bullet point, and code formatting.

My colleagues frequently attempt to copy/paste this atlantis response into the comments of the PR. Atlantis rejects this (in the form of simply not responding) due to the included bullet point, code formatting, and frequently a new-line which is added when my colleagues paste a comment.

Would you consider providing the operator with a way to specify...perhaps through regex, but i don't really care...what "valid" responses for the different phases of atlantis look like, instead of literally requiring that "atlantis apply foo" (or similar) be provided.

is this still an issue with v0.19.8?

[caphrim007]

hey @jamengual yes, this is still an issue. Would you know any specific places in the atlantis codebase that I could add debug logic to determine why it might be behaving like this?

I'm open to any pointers I could chase down.

I could not tell you where exactly to look but there is some PRs already opened to fix some formatting and look into the closed PRs since some of them people never get back to us so we close them after a while.
