[Bug] function call in _assert() message and linebreak

globalworming

Hi

i just discovered some misbehavior

function someFunction($string){
return $string;
}
_assertNotExists("something", "Here i want" + someFunction("this string"));

this works well when testing in the record tab of the sahi controller, but when I playback this piece of code, it says :
"ReferenceError: someFunction is not defined"

Additionally, when the message in the assert gets to long to fit my editor, I add a linebreak

_assertNotExists("something", "Here i want" +
"a long string to be diplayed);

This also only works in the testfield of the record tab, but will on playback say: missing ";"
I think that testfield and playback should behave equally, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Wormi,

1) You need to do

<browser>
function someFunction($string){
      return $string;
}
</browser>
_assertNotExists("something", "Here i want" + someFunction("this string"));

Have a look at the parsed script (from the Controller) to see why this is needed.

2) The parser of Sahi is not very sophisticated; so statements with actions APIs should be in a single line.


You could break it down like this:

var $msg = "Here i want" + 
                      "a long string to be diplayed";
_assertNotExists("something", $msg);

Thanks Narayan

I rarely look at the parsed script, kinda confusing
Thanks for your advice.
