How to query from response map using variable in iTest 3.4?

In iTest 3.2, we usually query from response map using variable (i.e: query status_by_ip("$ipaddr")), but seem like in iTest 3.4, when trying to query status_by_ip("$ipaddr") displays error message that no match found, or using status_by_ip($ipaddr) displays invalid query.

Thanks.

Thank you. I have to check that box for it to work. So it didn't convert the check box in iTest 3.2 to iTest 3.4. All the old test cases, we have to explicitly click to the grey box in analysis rule when there is argument.

I tried creating a simple test case that has some queries, and I used a variable for the argument. The query was extracted correctly. Are you sure that your variable exists and contains the right value?

You can also paste your query in the Structure View on the step that contains the response. Replace the variable with the actual value, and see if it finds any matches.

I used the query in an analysis rule and I also got an invalid query execution issue. What you need to do then is turn on field substitution. There is a little gray box besides the query text field. It says that field substitution is turned off by default. Click on the gray box to turn on field substitution. You'll see a little "F" in the gray box.
