Panic using RandomString when specifying symbols about greenmask HOT 6 CLOSED

Some more info : it looks like symbols must have more chars than max_length. It doesn't panic if I use

    - schema: public
      name: surgery_patient
      transformers:
        - name: RandomString
          params:
            column: permanent_identification_number
            symbols: 012345678901234567890123456789
            min_length: 20
            max_length: 20
            keep_null: false

But the generated string is weird (eg, I get 5+99e8e+964311721988 or 26+15+306640331+27+1 even if neither + nor e are in the configured symbols)

Hi!
Thank you for reporting the issue.
I will try to resolve your problem ASAP.

The first problem with panic I was able to solve.

But the generated string is weird (eg, I get 5+99e8e+964311721988 or 26+15+306640331+27+1 even if neither + nor e are in the configured symbols)

The reason why it is working in this way is that YAML parser recognizes it as an integer value 1.2345678901234568e+28. In this case, I can only recommend wrapping the value into quotes

   - schema: public
      name: surgery_patient
      transformers:
        - name: RandomString
          params:
            column: "permanent_identification_number"
            symbols: "012345678901234567890123456789"
            min_length: 20
            max_length: 20
            keep_null: false

This is a limitation for now because we use casting to any and it determines the type by the literal

I will add the information about it in docs

Oh, of course, I should have though about this. Thanks, I can get my random ID to be generated now :-)

Thank you for reporting that issue.

The fix connected with panic will be published in the next release (approximately this Friday or next week).
