Goal
The Recent Rails template will generate
filter_parameters
with partial strings, such as:passw
and:_key
. I think this library should also allow such keywords to filter out, following the Rails template.https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/f838a7421228204bbc1e012ff9a3801ed598da80/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/app/templates/config/initializers/filter_parameter_logging.rb.tt#L6-L8
This patch might be a breaking change because it will filter more parameters than before, but to exclude them would be better than sending probably sensitive parameters as they are.
Design
I just removed
\A
and\z
from theRegexp
construction on a railtie as well as addingi
to allow any cases to be matched.Changeset
\A
and\z
, and addi
toRegexp
initialization on railtieTesting
I updated
Rails.application.config.filter_parameters
insidefeatures
to be:passw
from:password
. It would be good if the End to end tests pass.
