I created a simple data-driven (from csv) test for the Windows Calculator. Very simple - number 1, Operation, number 2, check result. Here is the example of data in csv-file:

Number1,Action,Number2,Result
2,+,34,36
5,-,2,3

Now, the check result step fails because actual value does not match the expected value. But both values are identical:

Attribute 'Text' of element for item 'RechneZahlenRepository.Rechner.NormalOutput' does not match the specified value (actual='‭36‬', expected='36').

When I compare the code of this data driven test with the code of a recorded test (which works fine) I see no difference:

Hi,

Could you please post entire (zipped) sample solution? It would be much easier for us to debug the problem and without the need to recreate the whole solution. Thanks. BTW, are you using most recent Ranorex 9.3.2?

Yes, I'm using 9.3.2.

zip (with a couple of logs/reports) attached.

Hi,

Well, the problem is, that text in Calculator output label contains some invisible characters... So the solution is to replace AttributeEqual with AttributeContains. However, this might not be the best solution, because in case the result is something like "336", Validate AttributeContains "36" will still pass Therefore, you should first get the value from label, strip it from all non-numeric characters and only then validate with expected result. Basically, you can do something like this:

I got it. Thank you very much!
