Verify multiline text box

[algot]

I have multiline text box with 3 strings of text in it.

Number of Servers: 1
Number of Concurrent Users: 1-3
QuestionsComments:

If I record step with "verify" function test execution failed.

Hello Alexander,

How does the verify fail? What are the Step Failure Details? The Export Result to File feature is the best way to send us that information.

If the test is against a public site, please attach the test files (within a .zip file) so we can see the failure first-hand.

This issue may be related to the way browsers render Special Characters differently. You may need to tweak the conditions of the verification so it consistently passes.

Kind regards,

I replaced verification of 3 strings simultaneously with 3 consecutive verification one string at a time.

To reproduce my problem I tried to insert multiline text in verify step, but it impossible.
Then I try to use coded step:

Pages.ProspectSitecoreNet.FrameContentIFrame.SitecoreAdditionaldescriptionTextArea.AssertContent().TextContent(ArtOfTest.Common.StringCompareType.Contains, "Number of Servers: 1\nNumber of Concurrent Users: 1-3\nQuestionsComments:");

But step is failed:

ArtOfTest.Common.Design.Exceptions.ExecutionException: Exception thrown executing coded step: '[PricingForm_CodedStep] : Verify 'TextContent' on 'SitecoreAdditionaldescriptionTextArea''. ---> ArtOfTest.Common.Exceptions.AssertException: String match failed (CompareType:Contains). - [Expected:Number of Servers: 1
Number of Concurrent Users: 1-3
QuestionsComments:],[Actual:Number of Servers: 1
Number of Concurrent Users: 1-3

Hello Alexander,

Breaking that single verification into three is probably the best approach.

As you can see from the Expected vs. Actual strings in the error message, the browser is rendering those strings slightly differently during execution, as I initially expected.
