Hi,

yes, you are spot on. I tried it out now. If I press backspace I can input new text but overwriting the existing text does not work.

Hi Jeremy,

when I open your link, enter into the age text field letters “AP”, letter-string combinations “2a”, special signs like “//” or spaces and try to click the button, then I get the error message (as intended). The error message disappears when I try to change the age but nothing happens to the input itself, i.e. AP, 2a, // or ” ” stay put despite my trying most keys on the keyboard. If it helps, I’m using Firefox version 86.0.1 (64-bit) on Fedora 32.

Either way, my workaround seems to do the job for this issue, which hopefully it’s unique to my setup.

Best,
Anna

Hi again,

I “fixed” this issue by removing the offending input as the error message is displayed:

        .wait(
             newFunction('dummy', ()=>true).test.is(true)
            // Age
             .and( getTextInput("age").test.text(/^\d+$/)
                .failure( newText('errorage', "Bitte tragen Sie Ihr Alter ein."), 
                          getTextInput("age").text("")))  
        )

Best,
Anna

Hi Jeremy and Kathy,

just a heads up about your code: if a participant enters a string instead of a number in the age input field (e.g. “AP” instead of “99”), they are shown the error message but they cannot correct their input to a number (or otherwise).

Best,
Anna
