Problems using Switch node with REGEX

[Mark Setrem]

Ok I've been looking at this for an hour and can't see what I'm doing wrong.

I have a simple flow

[{"id":"f6878819.097878","type":"inject","name":"","topic":"","payload":"TEST","payloadType":"string","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"x":131,"y":155,"z":"7f940735.806bf8","wires":[["6df38725.920c78"]]},{"id":"6df38725.920c78","type":"switch","name":"","property":"payload","rules":[{"t":"regex","v":"/.*TEST.*/i"},{"t":"else"}],"checkall":"false","outputs":2,"x":254,"y":156,"z":"7f940735.806bf8","wires":[["daf285b6.250d78"],["b476786b.4b8988"]]},{"id":"daf285b6.250d78","type":"debug","name":"Yes","active":true,"console":"false","complete":"payload","x":392,"y":97,"z":"7f940735.806bf8","wires":[]},{"id":"b476786b.4b8988","type":"debug","name":"No","active":true,"console":"false","complete":"payload","x":388,"y":204,"z":"7f940735.806bf8","wires":[]}]

which injects a payload "TEST"

a switch node that is set to:
1) "matches regex" "/.*test.*/i"
and 2)"otherwise"

and 2 debug nodes.

For the life of me I can't get the REGEX to trigger "true" , any ideas?

Hi Mark,

there's an outstanding issue with the regex option that you cannot specify the regex flags like 'i' in there. In fact, you shouldn't include the surrounding '/' either.

Needless to say, we need to improve that...

Ta!

Back to using a function node then ;)
