Error description
Environment: RFT 8.2.1.1 Win XP Sp3. Problem Description: If a web page has an encoded character such as ?nbsp;, RFT is stripping the character out.For example, the text '?nbsp;Testing' would be read as 'Testing' by RFT as of RFT 8.2.1, but in previous releases this would show as ' Testing'
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Attempts to record a script in IBM Rational Functional Tester (RFT) results in the "?nbsp;" character being stripped from object maps and verification points.
Problem conclusion
Beginning in RFT 8.2.1.1, HTML encoded characters are removed from the leading and trailing spaces (such as removing "?nbsp;" from the beginning of the text property). This feature was added to suppress the compression of text. Resolving the problem If you have an existing test script or would like to record a new script which has the leading and trailing spaces, then you will need to make the following changes: Close RFT Navigate to ~SDP\FunctionalTester\bin Open ivory.properties Search for rational.test.ft.html.respectwidespace Set this property to true For example: rational.test.ft.html.respectwidespace = true Save the changes to the ivory.properties file
