bug: coder_app declaration can attempt to overflow length of column workspace_apps.display_name

[abhi1693]

I have a coder template that takes git_branch as a value. Anytime a developer tries to checkout the jira created branch, the provisioner fails with

internal provisionerserver error: complete job: execute transaction: insert provisioner job: insert app: pq: value too long for type character varying(64)

I'm not sure for how long this branch is going to remain active but here is an example: https://github.com/Onemind-Services-LLC/netbox-secrets/tree/OMS-419-Warning-Accessing-the-database-during-app-initialization-in-NetBoxSecrets-plugin

If I checkout dev branch, it works perfectly fine.

It seems like coder_parameter is set in the DB and must never be more than 64 characters

Hey @abhi1693 , I think this may be an issue in your template. The column workspace_apps.display_name is limited to 64 characters max.

My current theory is that your template is trying to create a coder_app with a display_name longer than 64 characters.
We should really be validating this in the coder/coder Terraform provider before this can make its way to the database.

Can you check the respective template and see if what I've mentioned above is the case?
If so, can you try trimming the workspace app display_name to be less than 64 characters in length?

That actually fixed the issue

Thanks for confirming @abhi1693 ! I still think this is a bug in the Terraform provider so I'm going to go ahead and move the issue over there.
