Ranorex 9.4.1

I have a test that

1. Enters a random address value on a web app
2. Assigns that address value to a variable
3. Navigates to a different page on the app and validates that the address displayed on the app is equal to the address stored in the variable.

The validation is failing because the spaces in the address text on the app, are not the same as the spaces in the address stored in the variable. I suspect they have a different ASCII code.

How can I deal with that?

Thanks

Hi,

Well, I think you will have to write your own validation method, in which you replace "spaces" with the same spaces as in ref. file/string. This is what I'm doing in similar cases. I believe these spaces are not completely random? So simply find out, what's the difference and unify spaces in ref/cmp strings, before comparing them. What often helps is also trimming spaces in front and behind the string. This is often a problem in web-based apps.

Thanks for your help odklizec, I will work on that.

Welcome back, we missed you

You are welcome

How can I determine how the "spaces" are represented on the web app? The spaces from the text on the website, look the same as the spaces in my variable value, on the Ranorex report.

Thanks

Hi,

Try to copy the value fron Ranorex Spy a paste it to good text editor (e.g. notepad++). Then check it in hexa mode.

Thanks odklizec, that's very helpful.
