"Not a Boolean Expression" error when using loadXmlVars - StoredVars are loaded, however Test Fails #27

Closed patrick-ryan1 closed 8 years ago

patrick-ryan1 commented 8 years ago

Hello,

Using latest versions of Firefox, Selenium IDE and SelBlock{}. When trying to loadXmlVars with only a file-path value, receiving “Not a Boolean Expression” error. There is no value in ?selector-expression listed in test case to resolve to Not a Boolean and the variables are loaded in Selenium IDE. The Test Fails however so further execution is not possible.

Selenium Test Case – loadXmlVars file://C:\ test.xml

Hi, I'm having the same issue, how did you resolve it?

Thanks, Ron

It is likely that the selector-expression, (the Target field), contained whitespace, or unprintable character(s). The non-empty, invalid expression is included in the error message immediately before 'is not'.

It should either be empty, or it should contain an expression that evaluates to a boolean as each entry is processed.

I have the same issue with this command (I didn't type any character into selector - value):

<tr>
    <td>loadXmlVars</td>
    <td>host.xml</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

Log:

[error] @/home/mira/workspace/bela/trunk/selenium_ide/login/openLoginScreen.html: 2: [loadXmlVars|host.xml]: , is not a boolean expression

Workaround:

<tr>
    <td>loadXmlVars</td>
    <td>host.xml</td>
    <td>true</td>
</tr>
