FIX: The value of a variable is truncated if you set the variable to a long data-string value in Test Manager 2010

Applies To
Visual Studio Ultimate 2010 Visual Studio Premium 2010 Visual Studio Test Professional 2010

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You create a test case in Microsoft Test Manager 2010.
  • You create a test step that contains a variable in the test step description or in the expected result field for the test case.
  • You set the variable to a value that corresponds to a long data string.
  • You run the test case by using Microsoft Test Runner.

In this scenario, the variable value for the test step description or for the expected result field is truncated. You expect the test step description or the value of the expected result field to be wrapped to the next line.
