Axe Test Automation Platform

Hi,

I would like to the data cell of a Val to be Chr(32) and have the script created as follows:

AxeMainAPI.StepBegin "DisplayName", "val", Chr(32)
rc=0
rc = AxeMainAPI.StepValidateEqual(Chr(32), value)
AxeMainAPI.StepEnd rc,err_msg
AxeMainAPI.SubTestEnd

What happens is:
AxeMainAPI.StepBegin "DisplayName", "val", "chr(32)"
rc=0
rc = AxeMainAPI.StepValidateEqual("chr(32)", value)
AxeMainAPI.StepEnd rc,err_msg
AxeMainAPI.SubTestEnd
'

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I should have mentioned what the HTML looks like:

<span id="someID">&nbsp;</span>

TestPartner interpretes the &nbsp; as the same as Chr(32)

Hi Marc,

This is because Axe treats all cells that contain nothing but whitespace as empty. So a single space character in your Data column will be ignored. So this is not actually anything to do with the way TestPartner handles the space.

A simple solution could be to add a custom val action to do the validation.

e.g.
action: val.space
command: rc = AxeMainAPI.StepValidateEqual(" ", value)

For full details on adding custom actions in Axe please refer to the Axe Technicians Guide.
