Regex match in UI selector not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm trying to cope with UI selectors which change frequently such as the React used in Jira. 

 

For the UI item I'm using Id <regular expression match>/react-select-..-option-0/g which appears to work on the regex checker I'm using (.. being the part that varies) and would expect it to match react-select-20-option-0 and react-select-40-option-0 as an example, but it just continues to halt and say it can't find this object ID. What am I doing wrong? 

I have the same question (0)

    For anyone else struggling with this, the solution is to exclude the regex syntax and just to write e.g. react-select-..-option-0
