General special characters [message #846617]

Hello Everbody!

I chose general special characters in my Jubula test.
I use a component with text input "Input Text" and i will insert following three characters inside the parameter value string:

'=', '{' and '}' and after the executed test the same characters i will find in my editor.

In the Jubula help documention i find the chapter 9. "Special characters in Jubula" but this it's no help.
I must the '=' character write in the mapped version '\='.

When i input the text with the characters in the parameter value and execute my test, then i find the following changed characters in the editor:

'\=' --> '0'
'{' --> '('
'}' --> ')'

Any ideas or hints what can i do to get the same characters in my editor after my test?

Thanks!!!

Hi,

Can you provide some more details about what toolkit your AUT uses (RCP? If so - which Eclipse version?), what platform you are on and what the keyboard layout for your system and your AUT configuration is?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

Thanks for the details - it'll be the keyboard layout - the one in the AUT configuration has to be the same as the one on the system Smile

HTH,
Alex

Hi Alex,

when i changed the keyboard layout form the system to english (United States), then it works! Wink

... but when i changed the keyboard layout form the AUT configuration to German (Germany), then i get this error in my test suites:

"The AUT for this test suite does not support the currently chosen working language."

what can i do?
I need the German (Germany) keyboard layout in my system.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I think you are getting confused between AUT Language and Keyboard Configuration for the AUT configuration - these are two separate things. It sounds like you changed the AUT Language instead of the keyboard layout.

Best regards,
Alex

Hi Jurjen,

try it with three backslashes Smile

I can't remember the exact reason, but it's something to do with masking the character once because it's a regular expression special character, once for our own special character (the variable sign) and once because backslash itself is a special character. I tried this \\\$.* and it worked.

Let me know!
Alex
