It seems this is not the case: patterns fail when using "::", but match when using ":": $ pdbtool test -v estring_colon_escaped.pdb Testing message program='dummy' message='foo: bar' Wrong match name='.classifier.rule_id', value='', expected='0304be33-4f3e-459e-8888-d86769986c32' Wrong match name='key', value='', expected='foo' Wrong match name='value', value='', expected='bar' $ pdbtool test -v estring_colon.pdb Testing message program='dummy' message='foo: bar' Match name='.classifier.rule_id', value='0304be33-4f3e-459e-8888-d86769986c32', expected='0304be33-4f3e-459e-8888-d86769986c32' Match name='key', value='foo', expected='foo' Match name='value', value='bar', expected='bar' -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
