chore(cli): hide the token's env var value in cli help#26714
Merged
Conversation
Use clap crate's "hide_env_values" option to suppress displaying the current value of the env var of the db token INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN when displaying cli help. The default behavior of clap is to display env var values for arguments when displaying the generated help messages. Showing the token disrupts formatting of the help because it is often long and in a way leaks the token's value. * closes #26713
