Issue/Introduction

This article explains the change in case-sensitivity for syntax highlighting within the Automic Web Interface (AWI) starting in version 24.4.5.

• Symptoms:
  • Syntax highlighting in AWI appears to be case-sensitive.
  • Script variables defined with mixed or different casing are not recognized correctly compared to previous versions.
• Steps to reproduce the issue:
  

  Insert below script into a script object on AWI having version v 24.4.5

  :S &VARA# = 'Variable_GR'
  :S &vara# = 'Variable_kl'

  :P &&VARA# = [&VARA#]
  :P &&vara# = [&vara#]

  click/select &VARA# It will recognize only &&VARA# and [&VARA#]
  It will not recognize the &vara# 
  ============

  If you select &vara# , it will recognize  only &&vara# &vara#
  It will not recognize the &VARA# 

 

Environment

Automic Automation AWI 24.4.5

Resolution

If the case-sensitive behavior impacts workflow efficiency, upgrade to AWI version 24.4.6 or higher, where environment behavior is optimized.
