'Why does Github action log shows asterisk?
When running on a Github action runner the Maven log output show only 3 asterisk (***) instead of the actual string
Warning: /home/runner/work/project/src/test/java/de/***/persistence/dao/DaoTest.java:98: Prefer java.time.ZonedDateTime
Where do these *** come from?
Solution 1:[1]
Turned out that Github actions have a security feature that replaces strings that are also used as a secret.
So if some log output just by accident contains the same string as used as a secret elsewhere it does get replaced with ***.
This is also mentioned in this issue.
