I got System.FormatException from trying replacing a part of string with value

2018-07-12 04:31 Bromo Programmer imported from Stackoverflow

I have a javascript file and it contains below js script

(function() {
    try {
        var click = new MouseEvent('click', {bubbles: true, cancelable: true, view: window});
        var field = document.querySelector('input[type="email"]');
        setTimeout(function() {
            field.dispatchEvent(click);
            field.focus();
            field.value="{0}";
        }, 500);
        return true;
    } catch(err) {
        return false; 
    }
})();

And I read that as string using below code:

var path = Path.GetDirectoryName(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory) + "\\Resources\\script\\myjavascript.js";
var raw = File.ReadAllText(path);
var args = new object[] { "my_username" };
Console.WriteLine(raw, args);

I got error: Exception thrown: 'System.FormatException' in mscorlib.dll

As I try to replace {0} with "my_username". Can anybody help me?

Thanks.

Answer based on PepitoSh approach is below:

var path = Path.GetDirectoryName(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory) + "\\Resources\\script\\myjavascript.js";
var raw = File.ReadAllText(path);
var script = raw.Replace("{0}", "my_username");
Console.WriteLine(script);

    You have to escape all other { and } and leave only "{0}" for the string.format to work.

    Also I would add a js object with properties for all variables and use that as an argument or a global object in js scripts, so I only have to replace the values once for multiple scripts.

  • answered 2018-07-12 04:51 PepitoSh

    Since indeed you have to escape the curly braces that are not part of the formatting, I'd recommend another approach in this specific case:

    var path = Path.GetDirectoryName(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory) + "\\Resources\\script\\myjavascript.js";
var raw = File.ReadAllText(path);
raw = raw.Replace("{0}", "my_username");
Console.WriteLine(raw);

  • C# Selenium: Any other way to get TEXT value of IWebElement faster?

    I got 500+ elements by FindElements(By.Xpath).

    But when I loop them to get text value, it takes 30+ seconds.

    This is very slow and unacceptable.

    I am using this code:

    var obj = driver.FindElements(By.Xpath...); // fast enough for 500 elements
int count = obj.Count;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    Debug.print(obj.ElementAt(i).Text); // long time, approx 0.2 sec
}
// total takes 2mins appox. just for printing text values of 500 elements.

    I tried with By.CssSelector, but not big difference.

    Any trick for this problem?

  • WPF WebView in dialogue window shows no content first time displayed

    I have a WPF application running on a Win10 desktop using the new (Microsoft.Toolkit.Wpf.UI.Controls.WebView v5.0.0.0) WebView control in a dialog window. The first time this dialog window is created, WebView navigation successfully completes but most of the time the WebView stubbornly continues to display a blank page.

    If I minimise that first instance of the dialogue window and restore it, the content is instantly rendered. If I close that window instance and create a new one, the control generally renders as expected.

    Changing the WebView.Visibility in code to Collapsed and then back to Visible on navigation completion doesn't fix the blank page.

    Has anyone seen this behaviour? Does anyone have a solution to provoke WebView to actually render?

    In theory the new WebView is a better architectural option than reverting to the old WebBrowser so I'm loathe to go down that path.

    Additional detail

    • Windows 10 desktop, x64, targeting .NET 4.6.2, WPF 4.x. The WebView instance is defined in XAML (without a Source binding) inside a UserControl.
    • The UserControl is embedded in a window defined in XAML, which only contains a root level Grid to contain the UserControl.
    • That window is shown via ShowDialog().
    • Source navigation is performed in code behind controlled by the current selection of a TabControl.
    • The WebView is NOT defined in the TabControl item template (doing so throws exceptions most of the time on tab selection change). It is in a container that is a sibling to the TabControl.
    • The NavigationCompleted event reports success.
  • Changing ContentControl Content from within Binding Content

    I am learning MVVM and getting to setting up a menu using Material Design for XAML and have come across a snag, which I feel may be a design/architectural mistake on my part.

    I have the following ContentControl in my main window:

    MainMenuView.xaml

          ...irrelevant code above...
      <DockPanel>

        <ContentControl Content="{Binding ElementName=MenuItemsListBox, Path=SelectedItem.ToolkitContent}"/>

    </DockPanel>
    </materialDesign:DrawerHost>

    Based off of a list item selection, this will load a user control xaml as the content in the contentcontrol.

    However, in that UserControl that is loaded into the ContentControl I have buttons which I want to have change that same content control.

    I am using a ViewModelBase to host the content from other Model classes.

    ViewModelBase.cs

        public class ViewModelBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private string _name;
    private object _content;

    public object ToolkitContent
    {
        get { return _content; }
        set
        {
            _content = value;
            RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(ToolkitContent));
        }
    }

    public string Name
    {
        get
        {
            return _name;
        }
        set
        {
            _name = value;
            RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(Name));
        }
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    public void RaisePropertyChanged(string prop)
    {
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(prop));
    }
}

    So I guess my question is, is it possible to change that main ContentControl Content property from a UserControl that is inside that ContentControl?

    Thanks
