Hello Jubula team,

Could you please evaluate the following problem with Jubula 2.0 x64

Have test case T1:
- assign variable Var value 'false'
- check $Var to be equal 'true'

Test case T1 has event handler EH1 with retry attempt on Check Failed

EH1:
- assign variable Var value 'true'

Step by step testcase T1 execution:
1. Var is assigned value 'false'
2. Compare $Var and 'true'. Var != true. Call event handler EH1.
3. EH1 assigns Var value 'true'
4. Retry comparison of $Var and 'true'
Expected: Retry passed
Problem: retry failed since variable $Var is still equal 'false'

This problem is not reproduced in Jubula 1.3 and has a great impact (actually stops from migration to Jubula 2.0) since the most of existing testcases and framework use such logic

Thanks, Alex.

Hi,

The situation you are describing is a planned change. It was documented in the release notes on page 8. The old way of resolving parameters was wrong (see this bug) and the behaviour has been noted and explained on this ticket. There is also an example project attached with a workaround for any projects that were using this way of working.

HTH,
Alex
