Bug in Bitbucket Pipeline Log

Question

Hello,

my Bitbucket Pipeline has a `.` being replaced by workspace variable.

Example:

git config user.name bitbucket-pipelines

is shown in the pipeline as `git config user$PRD_KONG_COMMON_CLIENT_SECRETname bitbucket-pipelines`

Hi @Argee and welcome to the community!

The reason why this occurs is because there is a secured user-defined variable with the name PRD_KONG_COMMON_CLIENT_SECRET and the value dot, `.`

This is not a bug, this behavior is by design. Pipelines masks secure variables so they are not disclosed to team members viewing build logs. If a value matching a secured variable appears in the logs, Pipelines will replace it with $VARIABLE_NAME.

This could be a repository variable (from Repository settings > Repository variables), a workspace variable (from Workspace settings > Workspace variables), or a deployment variable (from Repository settings > Deployments).

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora
