This should avoid the error observed in #89.
A secondary problem
The thread-comments text is the same string used in step-summary text. But step-summary is not limited to a certain number of characters because it is written to a file. Therefore, if I truncate the comment's text when it is created in
make_comment()
, then the step-summary text will show the same lack of data, even though it isn't limited to 65535 characters.As an alternative, I've chosen to just truncate the
payload["body"]
when posting a thread-comment using the REST API call. However, thread-comments may become malformed markdown syntax if they are longer than 65535 characters.For example:
A very long comment body that exceeds 65535 characters in the next line. </details>
could become malformed like so
