Bug: single-letter subdomains not parsing in output

[travisdowns]

Github actions fails to parse single-letter subdomains (and single-letter domains, but that’s probably a much less common problem).

When you write a URL to standard out/err in a GitHub actions task, the UI parses it as a URL and makes the link clickable.

However, if the URL has a single letter subdomain, the parsing fails.

Here is an example run showing the problem. Open URL test and you’ll see that https://a.example.com fails to parse, along with a.co, but the URLs without single letter domains parse fine:

Single-letter subdomains are totally valid and should be parsed correctly. I created one for the express purpose of shortening URLs printed in GitHub actions, so this behavior bit me recently.

Thanks, I’ve submitted it there as well.

@travisdowns Thanks for submitting the feedback

We’ve deployed a change today that should correctly highlight single-letter subdomains in logs
