Revolution: long string truncated

Created on 11 Dec 2018 · 4Comments · Source: modxcms/revolution

Bug report

Summary

I was trying to inject some css into the head of one of my pages. The css was around 18,000 characters long. I noticed that the content was truncated after around 10,000 characters. I also tried loading the content via a chunk, chunk (static file) and externally from the file system via a snippet with the same result.

Step to reproduce

create a chunk called 'longstring`
go to a site like http://www.blindtextgenerator.com/lorem-ipsum and generate some text that is at least 18,000 characters long
call the chunk into the <head> of your template. for example: <style>[[$longstring]]</style>

Observed behavior

The content is truncated after 10,000 characters.

Expected behavior

For the content not be truncated.

I've looked at the storage values for chunks in the db, and all should be good. I can't quite pin down where the limit is coming from.

I appreciate this might be a database character limit, so please feel free to close instantly if so. Apologies in advance!

Environment

MODX 2.7.0
MySQL (what comes with MAMP)
Tested with Database Collation utf8_general_ci and utf8mb4_general_ci using InnoDB

@sebastian-marinescu Just tested this again too, using view source and sure enough :) Thanks for testing!

This looks like the developer-tools-view, where I think long strings are always truncated.
Is the string also truncated in the source-view of the page?

@jonleverrier I've just tested in two different MODX-environments: 2.5.0-pl and 2.7.0-pl

I create a chunk called "test" and added a long string.
I've used this string https://pastebin.com/Ht9AUxnS with 18.000 characters.
In both environments the complete chunk-content got shown.
