I am using cucumber feature file to execute or write my test cases. Issue is that I am using data table as :

| abc  | 1234567890                                 | 
| defg | New Activation – Monthly (Credit in store) |

Now issue is this that console is throwing an error that :

Cannot locate element with text: New Activation ? Monthly (Credit in store).

I am not able to understand why ? is being displayed instead of "–" .

My guess would be that it is some kind of character encoding problem. – Peter Niederwieser Aug 06 '13 at 09:51
yes, but is there anyworkaround for this. i mean i am unable to automate this becouse of this issue. – chandandeep singh Aug 06 '13 at 11:01
Make sure the correct encoding is used (e.g. with `gradle -Dfile.encoding=... test`). – Peter Niederwieser Aug 06 '13 at 13:46
