Mark Payne created NIFI-8042: -------------------------------- Summary: ReplaceText failing to update text when using Literal Replacement Strategy with Expression Language Key: NIFI-8042 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8042 Project: Apache NiFi Issue Type: Bug Components: Extensions Reporter: Mark Payne
>From mailing list: I've successfully tested Variable Registries in the *Replacement Value* field, but I still can't get it to work in the *Search Value* field with *Replacement Strategy* as Literal Replace and *Evaluation* as Entire Text. Here is something really weird. I created a GenerateFlowFile and used my ${tier1.linux} variable in the *Custom Text* field. Creates the flow file as expected, with the expected text. But then in my ReplaceText's *Search Value* field I use my ${tier1.linux} variable with *Replacement* being anything, and it +does not+ ** successfully search and replace the text. Thoughts? *GenerateFlowFile Values* File Size: 0B Batch Size: 1 Data Format: Text (granted, I'm using JSON in my official version, but it should still work) Unique FlowFiles: false Custom Text: ${tier1.linux} Character Set: UTF-8 Mime Type: No value set *ReplaceText Values* Search Value: ${tier1.linux} Replacement Value: hello world Character Set: UTF-8 Max Buff Size: 1MB (way more than I need) Replacement Strat: Literal Replace Evaluation Mode: Entire Text Line-b-Line: All -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
