Invalid or unexpected token in Kantu if condition

Question

I'm using the Kantu web automation tool for the first time. Most of it is intuitive, but I'm now encountering an error when looping through a CSV. The relevant part of my script is:

{
  "Command": "echo",
  "Target": "Found customer with email ${emailAddress}",
  "Value": ""
},
{
  "Command": "echo",
  "Target": "Expected email name: ${!COL1}",
  "Value": ""
},
{
  "Command": "if",
  "Target": "${emailAddress} == \"${!COL1}@domain.com\"",
  "Value": ""
},

This produces the following log:

[info] Executing: | echo | Found customer with email ${emailAddress} | |

[echo] Found customer with email 70866223@domain.com

[info] Executing: | echo | Expected email name: ${!COL1} | |

[echo] Expected email name: 70866223

[info] Executing: | if | ${emailAddress} == "${!COL1}@domain.com" | |

[error] Error in runEval condition of if: Invalid or unexpected token

So you can see the variables ${emailAddress} and ${!COL1} are stored correctly, but my if condition is not evaluating correctly. I've also tried changing \"${!COL1}@domain.com\" to ${!COL1} + \"@domain.com\" with same result.

I assume this is something to do with escape characters or something, but I can't find anything related in the docs. Any pointers appreciated.

The if expression is handled like in storeEval. To quote from one of the storeEval examples in the docs :

x="${myvar}"; x.length;

Note that our variable ${myvar} is converted to a text string before the Javascript EVAL is executed. Therefore ${myvar} has to be inside "..." like any other text.

So I'd say the reason your code fails on the if is that your ${emailAddress} is not inside a String.

"${emailAddress}" == "${!COL1}@domain.com"

should work.

Hey @PinkiePie, what is your gripe with my edits to this reply? The syntax I gave was 100% correct - so why did you decline it? – SilSur May 17 '19 at 12:23
@getsetcode - { "Command": "if", "Target": "\"${emailAddress}\" == \"${!COL1}@domain.com\"", "Value": "" } ... this is the correct code to your problem. – SilSur May 17 '19 at 12:24
