susedistribution::handle_password_prompt -> lib/susedistribution.pm:70 called testapi::type_password
[2022-07-06T12:06:05.534656+02:00] [debug] <<< testapi::type_string(string="[masked]", max_interval=100, wait_screen_change=0, wait_still_screen=0, timeout=30, similarity_level=47)
[2022-07-06T12:06:05.535894+02:00] [debug] <<< consoles::video_base::type_string(max_interval=100, cmd="backend_type_string", json_cmd_token="HWQIViIt", text="nots3cr3t")

I guess it should be obvious that this is not intended this way. There had been multiple people working on hiding passwords but apparently it only gets worse. Let's be better :)

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: No log messages show the password, duh, in particular no password from consoles::video_base::type_string

Suggestions

  • Check why we even have "testapi::type_string" and "video_base::type_string" and repeat the log message in both. Maybe we can avoid the log in consoles::video_base::type_string
  • Check unit tests if maybe we just look at the log message of testapi::type_string but not video_base
  • Try to reproduce locally and use git bisect to find the culprit introducing the regression: Already clear. commit 4e66dcc0 introduced this:

    bmwqemu: Hide secrets on log output with log_call()

    Parse given parameters for `-masked => <string>` and replace
    all occurrence from the given `<string>` with `[masked]` in the
    log output.

I agree with @kalikiana. The current PR is an improvement and I will not delete the serial+ssh backend log messages but maybe we can improve that later on.
