Hi,
I am replacing an integer column with RANDOMDIGITS in MySQL database, I have an error, can you help me? Many thanks.
Anonymizing table 'lastnames', total progress [57%, ETA 9:05:59 AM]Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Please provide 'mask' with a digit mask in the form 111******, where only stars are replaced with random characters.

Can you provide the configuration you are using to anynmize the table?
I'm following this link: https://realrolfje.github.io/anonimatron/documentation/
Datatype of 'creditcardbr' column in Mysql is Varchar(20) like your documentation.
In config.xml file, I also set column name="creditcardnr" type="RANDOMDIGITS" like your documentation.
But I have this error:
Anonymizing table 'userdata', total progress [0%, ETA 9:50:31 AM]Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Please provide 'mask' with a digit mask in the form 111******, where only stars are replaced with random characters.

I have tried to change datatype of 'creditcardbr' column in Mysql from Varchar(20) to Int(11) but nothing changed :(
The datatype of the table should be varchar. I can try to reproduce your problem later today, it feels like there is a problem with your configuration, or the way defaults are handled in Anonimatron.
It took a bit of time, sorry. It turns out that this is a bug in the configuration code of Anonimatron. There was a check for the newly added mask parameter, but it assumes that this configuration is always there. The workaround would be to add a "mask" configuration parameter to the column, like so:
<column name="creditcardnr" type="RANDOMDIGITS">
<parameter id="mask">*</parameter>
</column>
Sorry for the inconvenience, I am working on a solution and a unittest to prevent this from happening in the next release.
Solved in develop branch, will be part of release 1.14
