• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Issue Node Env Variable Length

Adrian Sluijters

New Pleskian
Hello,

I've noticed that in a node application, if you add custom environment variables, there appears to be an issue in regards to the total length of the key-names and the values.

If anyone has encountered this and resolved it (or worked around it), some help would be great. Here are the tests etc... which I did to confirm the issue on my end. (note that I have filed a bug report as I can't find any info about this anywhere).

SCENARIO 1

To Replicate:

  1. Edit the Custom environment variables of the application
  2. Click on specify to edit/add the variables
  3. Add 2 variables simultaneously, named 'A' and 'B'
  4. Set each of the new variables to have a value 49 characters long (I used alphanumeric)
  5. Press OK to apply the variables
Expected Result:

Two variables, named 'A' and 'B' with their respective 49 character long values.

Actual Result:

Two variables, named 'A' and 'B' with their respective 49 character long values.


SCENARIO 2

To Replicate:
  1. Edit the Custom environment variables of scenario 1 above.
  2. Click on specify to edit/add the variables
  3. Add 9 variables simultaneously, named 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J' and 'K'
  4. Set each of the new variables to have a value 49 characters long (I used alphanumeric)
  5. Press OK to apply the variables
Expected Result:

Eleven variables, named 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J' and 'K' with their respective 49 character long values.

Actual Result:

All variables disappear, including 'A' and 'B' created in the first scenario

FURTHER NOTES AND INFORMATION

In the first scenario, if you add all element variables the same happens as in scenario 2, i.e. that is create 'A' through 'K' at once with no existing variables, all of the variables disappear too as in scenario 2 results.
