• Fixes an issue that results in an exception when an API Test is run from a SenseTalk Script. (CRD-1786)

• Resolves an issue where the SenseTalk version().archive would not correctly identify 64-bit Windows as 64-bit. (CRD-1544)
• Resolves an issue so that the SenseTalk line average of empty now returns nan (not a number) on Windows versions of Eggplant, matching the behavior of macOS and Linux.

SenseTalk

Includes SenseTalk version 2.22.

SenseTalk Enhancements

• Adds the WaitForNotFound command and function, which are functionally oppostite of the WaitFor command and function. The WaitForNotFound command and function halt script execution until none of the specified elements are found on the SUT. For more information, see WaitForNotFound.

• Updates Dependencies

• Removes parsing of old OpenStep-style plists as property lists:
  SenseTalk property lists that use = in place of : to separate keys and values, and ; in place of , to separate property list entries will no longer work (see example below). This method for formatting plists in SenseTalk can potentially cause issues with syntactically correct SenseTalk.

  {key1 = "Value 1"; key2 = "Value 2";} -- No Longer Supported
  {key1: "Value 1", key2: "Value 2"} -- Preferred Syntax, Still Supported

SenseTalk Defect Fixes

• Fixes a crash caused by long running comparisons of large CSV files on Windows. (CRD-1728)
