Encrypted properties are being displayed in Jenkins logs when test fails

    For me, I had to set the property that was sensitive with data and then override it with a Jenkins parameter and with an overloaded property in the project itself. In my case, I was using a WSS-Config password, so I set a pair of Project-level properties, certPath and certPass. Since certPass was sensitive, that was set up as a global jenkins password, and my testrunner script looked like this:

     

     

    exit_status=$(testrunner.sh "-FXML" "-RJUnit-Style HTML Report" -J -a -A -r "-PcertPath=${certPath}" "-PcertPass=${certPass}" ${WORKSPACE}/path/to/project.xml

      The proposed solution works but requires all sensitive information to be maintained in two places - Jenkins and ReadyAPI. Testers run the test cases manually as well outside of Jenkins. Can this be entered as an enhancement to not display encrypted fields in the logs in the case of test case failures.
