Can an argument name have a dash in the middle?

I had an argument in a quick call that i named "snr-up-min". I realize this isn't a best practice, but I made a mistake. When I used that name I got this error: Error processing procedure call arguments: Invalid query.' Only simple XPath expressions of the form node1/node2/.../nodeN that identify a single node are supported. The query "snr_up-min" contains unrecognized or unsupported syntax.' 3.2.2 2 setProfile_base exec TA1108VP.fftc When i changed the name to "snr_up_min" all was well. Should we get that error?

Hi gretztx, We should not use the symbol (-) for naming the argument, because the symbol(-) is used while calling the arguments. Below screenshot is from iTest user guide for your reference. ![alt text][1] [1]: /storage/temp/4164-arguments.jpg

I agree that we SHOULD not do that. However if you did on accident i think iTest should allow it OR show it as an error.

Hello, If we are using any unsupported syntax for arguments iTest will throw the error which you have mentioned earlier. In the above example "The query "snr_up-min" contains unrecognized or unsupported syntax" describes that the given argument is wrong. Regards, Venkat
