PH55030: CODEGEN FAILURE FOR HTTP TEST DUE TO BAD JSON REGULAR EXPRESSION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When attempting to playback a newly recorded HTTP test, an error
  message like the following appears:
  
    RPTA4040I
    Fatal error translating the element for type
  'com.ibm.rational.test.lt.
      models.behavior.http.HTTPPage'.
  
  com.ibm.rational.test.lt.codegen.core.lang.FatalTranslationExcep
  tion:
    java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal character
  range near index 20
  
  The error message is generated due to the JSON-based regular
  expression for an auto-generated reference similar to:
  
  
  JSON:$.['https://hcl.com/qm/qm?lc_config.context=https%3A%2F%2Fh
  cl.com%2Fgc%2Fconfiguration%2F305'].lcCompact.shortTitle
  

Local fix

• Use a data correlation rules file to remove the reference with
  the invalid regular expression and to create a new reference
  with a valid regular expression.
