Datadriver not picking up test case name from CSV about robotframework-datadriver HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @hbirkdale,

can you put you console output here?
What are the names you get?

from robotframework-datadriver.

Sorry @Snooz82 - just realized i had posted some pws....here is the update

As you can see, the test cases are being named from my one and only test case in robot.task - "Register with user {something}, password {somethingelse} and outcome {someurl}"

This is what was in robot.task
*** Test Cases *** Register with user '${username}', password '${password}' and outcome '${url_complete}' Default UserData

from robotframework-datadriver.

FYI - when I debug the robot, I took a look at &Datadriver_DATA_DICT, and here is what it shows.
{"Register with user ...": {'arguments': {...}, 'documentation': '', 'tags': [...], 'test_case_name': "Register with user ..."}, "Register with user ...": {'arguments': {...}, 'documentation': '', 'tags': [...], 'test_case_name': "Register with user ..."}, "Register with user ...": {'arguments': {...}, 'documentation': 'Manually confirm thi...st already', 'tags': [...], 'test_case_name': "Register with user ..."}, "Register with user ...": {'arguments': {...}, 'documentation': '', 'tags': [...], 'test_case_name': "Register with user ..."}}

I am not seeing any of the data that I put in the first column.

That is interesting and not as designed/intended.

i will check that

@hbirkdale

Can it be, that your CSV file is not really UTF-8, but UTF-8 with BOM (Byte Order Mark)?

Because in that case i can reproduce your behaviour.
You can fix that by selecting the correct encoding.

Library           DataDriver    Deals.csv    dialect=userdefined    delimiter=,    encoding=utf_8_sig

Hi @Snooz82 - I guess its possible. All I did was create the file in Excel and Save As with

However, there is an option to save with :

So let me try that and see if it works.
and I will also try changing the encoding too....:)

@Snooz82 You were right - that was it. As soon as I changed the encoding it the test case names came from the CSV. Thanks!
