Can instrumenting introduce bugs

Post by Mozzytm » Tue Feb 12, 2013 12:55 pm

Hi there, its time for today's question.

Been plodding on well for a few hours now recording/tweaking a script. Now i'm testing the users ability to view saved information. When i choose to view the records I get an error "input string not in correct format" however this error does not occur on the non instrumented app with the same build number. This is a bit of a blocking issue for me, is there any way around it (different method of instrumenting for example)?

Thanks

M

We use the app to pass commands to a server, the version number is checked as part of the header request. In this instance $ is an invalid character. As a fix the version number is cleaned up before any requests
