replace text in files crashes if it finds a directory

[Emily Bache]

My tests use "copy_test_path" to copy a whole directory structure into the test sandbox.
eg
copy_test_path:dir_to_copy

I want to update the text in one of the files in this directory. Each test has a different copy of this file under a directory with the same name. I tried to use the feature "replace text in files" from the actions menu. I entered the text to replace but didn't know what to write in "File stem(s) to perform replacement in" so I put *. When I ran it, texttest gave this exception:

Test could not be run :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/texttest/3.20/source/lib/default/actionrunner.py", line 263, in handleExceptions
    method(*args)
  File "/opt/texttest/3.20/source/lib/default/scripts.py", line 242, in __call__
    for line in open(stdFile).xreadlines():
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '${TEXTTEST_HOME}/myapp/mytest/dir_to_copy'

Does it work if you run it with "dir_to_copy/*" instead?

Now ignores directories. The command you gave wouldn't have worked anyway though, you needed to do as suggested in the previous comment.
