Problems submitting '@' symbol over "Send word"

[alex-escalante-dis]

I'm currently seeing an issue with the @ symbol, regardless of which version of the framework, through "Send word" in RobotFramework (but again, also effects the other platforms that can be used). If I use the string "[email protected]", it'll type the word "something" on screen, then skip to the next operation.

I see the same issue, I am using Roku JavaScript Library.

I'm having the same issue with RobotFramework. Is there any workaround for this? I assume inputting email address would be one of the common use case. I really appreciate any help. Thank you!!

The only workaround that worked for me was to simply guide the cursor to the @ symbol, then continue with send word. Not the best, but it works. Still, would love to see this bug fixed and send as a single word command.

Thank you, I will try that. Yes, totally agree that this needs to be fixed!

Hello again!

The issue below might be related to the above limitation so I'm going to post it here.
I'm trying to use a date object I declared in Variables as the following;

${d}= Get Current Date result_format=epoch

Then with 'Send word', e.g,

Send word ${d}

but it doesn't work. Does anyone have experience trying something similar?

best,
kazue

It works if we set result_format like the following, and not 'epoch', which is float and it turned out 'send word' doesn't take float.

${current}= Get Current Date result_format=%m%d%H%M%S
Send word ${current}
