Regex no longer working correctly with | (or) symbol

[CoolsJoris]

Hi,

Regex no longer works as expected.
As simple regex checking on a single character works, when you start using | to specify or it stops working.

The following works (simple regex)

<assert>
  <all-rows>
    <predicate operand="[Column]" type="text">
      <matches-regex not="true">([ ]){17}</matches-regex>
    </predicate>
  </all-rows>
</assert>

The following doesn't work.

<assert>
  <all-rows>
    <predicate operand="[Column]" type="text">
      <matches-regex>([A-Z]| |\d|[+]|[-]|[%]|[*]){17}</matches-regex>
    </predicate>
  </all-rows>
</assert>

The error i get is the following:
NBi.NUnit.Runtime.TestSuite.TestName:
NBi.Core.Transformation.Transformer.Native.NotImplementedTransformationException : The native transformation named '' is not implemented in this version of NBi

I have this issue in the following version. (could have been even earlier)

• 1.21.0-beta.244
• 1.21.0-beta.286

thanks in advance.

This is a not-anticipated side effect of #494. The pipe symbol (|) is interpreted as a separator for the native transformations.

I propose to add a feature that if the value is starting AND ending by a grave symbol (`) then the value is a literal. That means that it's not fully retro-compatible, but the cases where a change would be required are minimal.

<matches-regex>`([A-Z]| |\d|[+]|[-]|[%]|[*]){17}`</matches-regex>
