whitespace in protocol message name [message #1780132]

Hi,

I had trouble with a plugin on Papyrus-RT with finding in/out messages in a protocol, and now I figured out that Papyrus-RT allows whitespace characters at the end of the protocol's message names (apparently Papyrus-RT does not trim the names). For example in a model one is able to define a protocol P, with messages "m1" and "m2 ". I did not check other cases.
I am using Papyrus-rt 1.0 on a Mac.

Was this a problem with the code generator, or was it a problem with some other aspect (e.g. tooling) or was it a problem when you were trying to manipulate a model programatically?

Create a protocol manually and add a message. Name the message "m1 ". There is a space after m1 and there are no immediate validation checks for names. Even it is possible to name the message "m1()".

Yes, but why exactly is this a problem for you?

Whitespaces in the message name caused a plugin does not find the message (in the protocol) simply since the plugin trims the message names. I understand that no one may trim a message name, but I do not understand why a message name can include any character. I did not check if the code generator complains or not in these cases.

When you say "a plugin does not find a message", do you mean a plugin you wrote, a Papyrus plugin, a Papyrus-RT plugin or a third-party plugin? If it is one of the last three, which plugin, and when performing which action?
