Fault on enterstring('<')

[reginaldl]

Hi,

I'm getting an error when calling ldtp.enterstring(<window>, <field>, '<'):

>>> import ldtp
>>> ldtp.enterstring('frmUntitled - Notepad', 'txt0', '<')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\CobraWinLDTP\ldtp\__init__.py", line 432, in enterstring
    return _remote_enterstring(window_name, object_name, data)
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\CobraWinLDTP\ldtp\client.py", line 72, in __call__
    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\xmlrpclib.py", line 1599, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\CobraWinLDTP\ldtp\client.py", line 195, in request
    raise e
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 0: 'Index was outside the bounds of the array.'>

Here are request_body and payload:

(Pdb) payload
'<?xml version="1.0"?>\r\n<methodResponse>\r\n  <fault>\r\n    <value>\r\n      <struct>\r\n        <member>\r\n          <name>faultCode</name>\r\n          <value>\r\n            <i4>0</i4>\r\n          </value>\r\n        </member>\r\n        <member>\r\n          <name>faultString</name>\r\n          <value>\r\n            <string>Index was outside the bounds of the array.</string>\r\n          </value>\r\n        </member>\r\n      </struct>\r\n    </value>\r\n  </fault>\r\n</methodResponse>'
(Pdb) request_body
"<?xml version='1.0'?>\n<methodCall>\n<methodName>enterstring</methodName>\n<params>\n<param>\n<value><string>frmUntitled - Notepad</string></value>\n</param>\n<param>\n<value><string>txt0</string></value>\n</param>\n<param>\n<value><string>&lt;</string></value>\n</param>\n</params>\n</methodCall>\n"
(Pdb) 

Is there a way to fix it or workaround it?

I've tried using settextvalue and inserttext, both have no effect but still return 1...

I am seeing the same problem using the linux version of ldtp on Ubuntu 16.04:

(all special characters minus "<")
>>> ldtp.enterstring("frmWindow", "txtField", "~!@#$%^&*()_+=-,./?[]{}|")
1

(now including "<")
>>> ldtp.enterstring("frmWindow", "txtField", "~!@#$%^&*()_+=-,./?[]{}|<>")
