How to test if Bot is showing dynamic data

[stephenws]

Hello All

My Testing Bot is showing dynamic data
Suppose, I asked to Bot : What is Emp id of Stephen
Then he will Reply : 12214

Like wise for Dynamic data how can we test

Two options:

1. You can use regular expressions, for this you can configure the matching mode capability (https://github.com/codeforequity-at/botium-core/wiki/Botium-Configuration#scripting_matching_mode)

2. Dependening on your scenario, you can use seperate utterances files as well - if you would allow one of several bot responses (https://github.com/codeforequity-at/botium-core/wiki/Botium-Scripting#composing-in-text-files)

I found this documentation page https://botium.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BOTIUM/pages/60817419/What+are+the+Advanced+Scripting+Settings+in+Botium+Box , but the regular expressions are still not working for me in botium-bindings.

test convo

Profit Share this year

#me
profit share 2019

#bot
Your total profit share for 2019 from [January|February|March|April] to [October|November|December] totals $655.72.
CARDS profitshare

error

    TranscriptError: BotiumError: Profit Share this year/Line 6: Expected bot response (on Line 3: #me - profit share 2019) "Your total profit share for 2019 from January to October totals $655.72." to match one of "Your total profit share for 2019 from [January|February|March|April] to [October|November|December] totals $655.72."

It seems that whatever I type it's always escaped...

[codeforequity-at]

SCRIPTING_ENABLE_MEMORY is not vital for this example.
SCRIPTING_MATCHING_MODE capability is missing, you have to tell Botium to interpret the assertions as regular expressions.
Finally, the $ character and the . characters have to be escaped to use it as literal in a regular expression:

#bot
Your total profit share for 2019 from [January|February|March|April] to [October|November|December] totals \$655\.72\.

[piotrjak]

thanks for the response, but unfortunately it still doesn't work
botum.json

      "SCRIPTING_MATCHING_MODE": "regexpIgnoreCase", // regexp doesn't work either

error

   TranscriptError: BotiumError: Profit Share this year/Line 6: Expected bot response (on Line 3: #me - profit share 2019) "Your total profit share for 2019 from January to October totals $655.72." to match one of "Your total profit share for 2019 from [January|February|March|April] to [October|November|December] totals \$655\.72\."

starting botium bindings

bb.helper.jest().setupJestTestSuite();

[piotrjak]

ok, it works for "regexp", but not for "regexpIgnoreCase" when I actually provide the right regex

January|February

and not

[January|February]

[codeforequity-at]

the mode regexpIgnoreCase is only included in the very very latest botium-core build. maybe you have to update the software first.
