[Android][1.7.1] Strings containing \n cannot be matched
See original GitHub issueThe problem
Strings that contain \n in them cannot be matched using any method in appium
Environment
- Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.7.1
- Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): N/A
- Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: macOS Sierra 10.12.6
- Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 8.5.0
- Mobile platform/version under test: Android
- Real device or emulator/simulator: Real Device
- Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI
Details
In the Android app there are strings defined like so: <string>word1\nword2</string>. When trying to lookup a TextView containing that string I must do a partial match, only searching for word1 or word2, as trying to search for word1\nword2 does not match the TextView.
Link to Appium logs
The string I am searching in the app contains sensitive information, so I can’t post a log. If you want I can throw together a quick Demo App that reproduces the bug and post the logs from that.
