Xray Document Generator stripping ${} placeholders in the Actions

[Jay Burgess]

When using Xray Document Generator, the exported Excel does not contain parameter placeholders like ${SCREEN}.

For example, instead of exporting the Action "On screen ${SCREEN}, select...", my export says "On screen , select...".

Since it makes my test steps unreadable, is there a way to force these parameter placeholders to be included in the export?

The root cause is that Xray is using the ${foobar} notation for its own variables. It (probably) thinks that ${SCREEN} is an Xray-managed variable, and it replaces its with an empty string while rendering variable names to values.

You should either escape your expression to prevent it from rendering, or use an alternative app to export your data which doesn't suffer from this problem.
