Re: [Webtest] verifyContent cannot verify special characters??

[Paul King]

For the replaceFilter step you might need to escape
the special characters, e.g. ©

As for the verifyContent step, I can't tell if this
is a bug from the information provided. If you open the
files in a non-XML aware editor are they the same?
Do they have the XML character entity representation
or the actual copyright character?

Cheers, Paul.

Hi,

my screen contains special chars such as

          Copyright</span>&#169;


and

          <td>&#160;</td>


when I use verifyContent, it always returns the
response html file differs from the reference file for
 the lines which contains the special chars (&#169;
and &#160; ) through the files are actually the same.

Is this webtest bug? I try to filter only the special
char by doing,

        <replaceFilter regex='(?s)&#160;'
        replacement="special char REMOVED"/>
        <replaceFilter regex='(?s)&#169;'
        replacement="special char REMOVED"/>



but could NOT get it  to work.

any help is appreciated.

thanks,

Chang
