Hi

I have the following validation in one of my tests -

Ranorex.Validate.IsTrue(response.Contains(@"<clientid>1407</clientid>"), "Validating response contains client ID 1407");

However, when the report is loaded I get the error message below...... Would it be possible to wrap the data in a CDATA tag by default so this does not break?

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Hey Scott,

Where/How are you logging the value ?
The one code line you posted can't possibly log anything with an HTML tag in it ...
Could you also post a larger part of the XML report ?

Hi Michael

Ah it may not be that line, there is an http request created and the response is xml which is logged to the report. Here is the full log below...

Would Report.LogData or Report.LogHTML be better?

Scott,
This is a special case in XML: you cannot nest CDATA sections within CDATA sections
You can either do a "Replace("]]>", "whatever") on your string or use loghtml and encode your string with HttpUtility.EncodeHtml()

Michael

Hi Michael

Ahhhh I see! Ok thanks for the info, I have went with your second suggestion

Thanks
Scott
