Ignoring regex on a parameter [message #1704136]

Hi all,

I have a test case that accepts a parameter of =PHONENUMBER and I use it for two things. First I use it to input text into a textfield, afterwards that text gets sent to the server and it replies with a message, which is put into a tableview.

I then have a check of that tableview looking in the column phone number for the value of =PHONENUMBER. These should be the same value.

The test works fine if I enter a number, like 564654654. But if I enter an international number, like +3524666445252, it fails on the check, with the error message:
Error Description "+3524666445252" is not a regular expression

I've attempted to escape the + by surrounding the parameter =PHONENUMBER with angled brackets, single quotes and I've also done the same on the defined value of +3524666445252, but none of these seem to work.
Is there another method I should be using to escape the + character?

Details on stuff I'm using:
Jubula version: 8.1.6.023
I've attached the test xml file

Let me know if you'd like more information

Regards,
Tom

Hi Thomas,

Is it necessary that the check uses "matches" as an operator? What happens if you use "equals"?

Best regards,
Alex

Thanks for the advice Alexandra, that works fine. Do you have a list somewhere of how the different operators behave? I've been following the cheat sheets and they've always used matches so far, so I replicated that. I would like to know the difference between them, if that is possible?
Thanks for the help!
Tom
