Overview

This article explains why Actions log output can appear incomplete or truncated and describes a workaround to access the full output. The Action console output may seem cut off when attempting to troubleshoot Actions-related issues.

Applies To

  • Actions

Cause

A 256-character limit for console log outputs causes the Actions log output to appear incomplete. This limitation is documented in Actions Limitations.

Solution

To bypass the character limit and capture the complete log output, implement the following workaround:

  1. Establish a custom API endpoint capable of receiving and storing log data.
  2. Modify the Action script to send all console log outputs to this custom API endpoint.

This approach allows for the collection of logs exceeding the 256-character restriction.
