Java binding doesn't expand variables in regular expressions #1599
Open
Description
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1599
Test case:
store | Privacy | re_priv
open | http://www.google.com/
verifyText | //center[@id='fctr']/p/a | regex:${re_priv}
Options > Format > TestNG (Remote Control):
package com.example.tests;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import org.testng.annotations.*;
import static org.testng.Assert.*;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class RegEx extends SeleneseTestNgHelper {
@Test public void testRegEx() throws Exception {
String re_priv = "Privacy";
selenium.open("http://www.google.com/");
verifyTrue(Pattern.compile("${re_priv}").matcher(selenium.getText("//center[@id='fctr']/p/a")).find());
}
}
This compiles, but when run:
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal repetition near index 0
${re_priv}
^
The line should be:
verifyTrue(Pattern.compile(re_priv) ...
