chat_postMessage inline code block with >4000 symbols broken markdown
I'm sending large inline code blocks into our slack rooms and blocks with more than 4000 symbols (roughly) are coming with a broken code style.
This message works fine:
"*test*\n```#{"x"*4000}```\n*test*"
This one came "broken":
"*test*\n```#{"x"*4100}```\n*test*"
It seems that the message is being split into two. I'm not quite sure whether it's a gem's issue or an API problem.
The doc https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage#formatting says
For best results, limit the number of characters in the text field to 4,000 characters. Ideally, messages should be short and human-readable. Slack will truncate messages containing more than 40,000 characters.
Messages are not truncated though, just split.
Please guide where to look at.
I'm using v0.14.1 at the moment.
I am almost 100% sure this is an API problem, but I could be wrong. Maybe replicate it with curl and open a ticket with Slack and close this issue if that's the case?
