R# Plugin test: How to specify context action with bracket in name

Question

I created a composite context action that returns a couple of intentions with the following texts:

[Tag] Action
Second Action

Now I'm trying to cover this action by tests. I did everything by guidelines, but I'm not able to identify the first action using the caret notation.

I've tried the following options:

{caret:[Tag]:Action}
{caret:Tag:Action}

Note of them worked :(

If I do the same for the Second Action, everything is fine. Likely, issue is related to brackets.

I don't want to change name of the action. Could you advice how to specify the action with brackets?

Thanks!

UPDATE

I've found the following workaround:

In data file specify alias for action: {caret:TagAction}.

Override SelectItem method and adjust attribute

protected override IBulbAction SelectItem(SetFrozenAttributeAction contextAction, string attribute, ITextControl textControl)
{
  if (attribute == "TagAction") attribute = "[Tag] Action";
  return base.SelectItem(contextAction, attribute, textControl);
}

If you know better way - suggest it :)

Yes, it's the brackets. I don't know why, but when it encounters the opening brace {, it doesn't read up to a closing brace }, but reads a set of chars that it deems are "valid", and then stops when it hits the first non-valid char. The valid chars are char.IsLetter, char.IsDigit and $, (, ), , -, ., /, \. But not [ or ] - so your {caret:[Tag] Action} would just read {caret: and then stop.

Your workaround seems like the best bet!
