how to include/exclude the new line character(\n) in the Html Report

Admirer

Hi,

While testing my application one of the popup string contains as follows in the view source: "Minimum Length of password is 6 And Max Length is 10.\n"

My code as follows:
$expValue = "Minimum Length of password is 6 And Max Length is 10."
_set($actualValue, _lastAlert());
_alert($actualValue);

_assertEqual($expValue,$actualValue,"Popup message is not equals to the expected value");

In View Logs HTML Report, it's showing as "Minimum Length of password is 6 And Max Length is 10.\\n". while passing the same string to the HTML page, it's excluding the char "\n".

Ex: "Minimum Length of password is 6 And Max Length is 10."

How can i display the same content("Minimum Length of password is 6 And Max Length is 10.\n") in both View log and in my HTML Report?.

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks & Regards,

You will need to escape the back slash. Otherwise it will get written as a new line.
You could do something like

$actualValue = $actualValue.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\');

before writing it to your file.

Hi Narayan,

I tried with above code what you mentioned. But still it's not displaying as "Minimum Length of password is 6 And Max Length is 10.\n" in my HTML Report.

Thanks in Advance.
