Support for Multiple Keyboard Languages for RDP
The Eggplant Test RDP connection type integrates with your keyboard allowing your test script to interact with a system under test (SUT) as if it were physically interacting with the SUT. This enables you to type, click, and navigate the SUT using Sensetalk scripts.
The keyboard language for the remote SUT is automatically configured to be the same as the keyboard language used by the Eggplant Test Client (Eggplant Functional, DAI, or Eggplant Gateway) machine.
Pre-condition: To set the keyboard language to be the same as the Eggplant Test client machine, you must sign out of, not just disconnect from, the previous remote SUT session.

Known Issues with Keyboard Languages Support
German Keyboard
There are known issues with the keyboard language for German (QWERTZ) implementation. Some characters sent from French and German keyboards display differently. To resolve these mismatched character displays, add the command set the sendShiftForCaps to no into each SenseTalk script.
| Key | Outcome | Solution |
|---|---|---|
@ { } ~ | empty | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
# | ' | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
~ | ' | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
< | > | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
^ | ° | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
+ | * | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
French Keyboard
There are known issues with the keyboard language for French (AZERTY) implementation. Some characters sent from French and German keyboards display differently. To resolve these mismatched character displays, add the command set the sendShiftForCaps to no into each SenseTalk script.
| Key | Outcome | Solution |
|---|---|---|
@ { } ~ | empty | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
^ | ¨ | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
& | 1 | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
( | 5 | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
_ | 8 | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
) | ° | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
$ | £ | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
! | § | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
: | / | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
< | > | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
" | 3 | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
* | µ | set the sendShiftForCaps to no |
Additionally, some keys will trigger Sticky Key Notfication on Windows. Adding the command set the sendShiftForCaps to no in you SenseTalk script will also resolve and deactivate the prompt.
Future: Eggplant Gateway will work with Eggplant Functional to resolve this issue by including the SendShiftForCaps boolean embedded into the engine.
