Hi There

we used the Regular Expression "\\*?=TITLE" in one of our testcases. It worked fine. But now with Jubula 1.2 all regular Expressions using the questionmark seem to fail.

Entering a simple ".?=TITLE" is not possible whereas ".*=TITLE" or ".+=TITLE" is...

index.php/fa/7953/0/

Does someone have any clue?

Cheers

Phil

Jubula 1.2 introduced functions as possible parameter values. The lead-in character for functions is the question mark.
To fix this problem you have to escape all question marks with backslashes.

What do you mean by "does not work" and "is still incorrect"?

Entering "\\*.\?=TITLE" (w/o the quotes) works for me.

If the match doesn't work please provide the expected and actual values from the test result or a detailed error description from the test run.

Thanks

I am having a similar issue with the ? using Jubula version 1.2.0

I want my string to read: .*Chains?: =ChainNames , which is invalid. If I escape the question mark once .*Chains\?: =ChainNames when running a test I encounter a testing error that states "Invalid Character? after backslash in \?. I've attached a screenshot of the error message.

According to the Documentation, there is nothing to mention having to escape the ?, so I'm a bit confused.

Thanks your help.

Hi,

Were you reading the documentation via the Eclipse pages? If so, then that won't be valid for some of the features in the 1.2 version (although, as of yesterday with the Juno release, now you will be able to find all the documentation for things that were in the 1.2 standalone version as well).

If you're using regex, it could be the case that you have to enter two backslashes (one to escape it for Jubula, one for the regex).

HTH,
Alex

I was reading the Documentation that I access through the Help in Jubula. A link to the most current help would be appreciated.

I am trying to use the ? in the proper form of a regex, as a 0 or 1 of the previous character s.

If I enter double escape the ? the text field that I am entering it in turns red and won't allow it. I've attached a screenshot to demonstrate what I mean.

Therefore:
No escape or double escape character results in red text field indicate a character that is not allowed.

Single escaped ? results in an error while running a test.

Which leads me to the conclusion that I cannot use a ? in a regular expression.

Hi,

The simplest way to completely disable all meta-functions of characters is to use single quotes. I tested entering

Chain'?'

and got correct results.

It does seem a bit odd that \? is disallowed - we may have overlooked something here, and you should create a ticket for that.

Best regards,
Alex
