Product Forums Katalon Recorder

Using v5.9.0 (Chrome)

Issue:
Using appendToCSV command with avariable containing a pound / hash sign (#) will cause output to the CSV output to freezeat the point where the # character is encountered and no subsequent appendToCSV command will send output to the CSV file. No indication in the log file that anything is wrong.

Cause:
Presence of a pound / hash sign (#) in a variable included in appendToCSV command

Workaround:

  1. Download a fresh CSV output file
  2. Substitute a different character for the pound sign(#), i.e.
    storeEval | storedVars.somevar.replaceAll("#", "||") | somevar2
