🐛 Github Actions: Overview table column includes entire commit message

[marians]

Plugin Name

github-actions

📜 Description

The action runs overview table has a column MESSAGE showing the entire commit message for the commit that triggered the job run. This message can be very long, especially in the case of GitHub pull requests getting merged with the entire PR description (main comment) used as commit message. It can include markup and emoji.

Since the MESSAGE content is displayed without any truncation and filtering, this can lead to a hard to read table, where line items take up a lot of vertical space.

👍 Expected behavior

Ideally the MESSAGE content should get truncated.

Commit messages often have a short first line that serves the purpose of a headline. User interfaces like GitHub desktop encourage keeping this line short and use subsequent lines for more information.

I suggest to cut off everything from the first newline found (for the MESSAGE column in the table). Also I suggest to apply a hard limit for the number of characters displayed.

In the job run details component, it is fine to show the entire commit message as it is (untruncated).

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

This is the latest version 0.6.22.

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Have a GitHub repo in your catalog that executes actions
2. Have the github-actions plugin with the overview table configured on the entity page
3. Create a commit in the GitHub repo with a long message, like in https://github.com/giantswarm/zot/commit/eed0a4256a20fcaf985994475db74923928ff3d5
