long plan output does not get sent to github comments

[jdeprin]

I have a repository where there are several changes, when I run the atlantis plan step the plan passes but no plan output is commented on the pull request. I believe this may be is due to the length of the output.

If I run atlantis plan with -target=some.resource the plan passes and output is commented as expected. The full plan output is never posted. tfplan files are created as expected.

I am running Atlantis in a container FROM runatlantis/atlantis. I started atlantis server with --log-level debug but it does not show any comment posts from atlantis to github.

Can you find out how many characters the plan file is? You can find it on the docker container in the same location as when you use -target. I'm wondering if it's a github api issue or on the Atlantis side when it tries to post it.

@jdeprin sorry for the delay on this. The problem was indeed on the Atlantis side. GitHub has a max of 65,535 characters per comment. I've fixed this in the latest release to split too long comments into multiple comments.

This is still an issue for gitlab. Should it be a separate issue?

Yes please
