GXT: unicode regex works in debug, but not in production

i am using GXT 2.1.1 and GWT 2.0.3. i created a Unicode regex expression, and then set it via TextBundle().setRegEx() function. it works like a charm in debug mode, but not in production.

my goal is to only allow either alphanumeric values, or numeric values only that can also be negative. when i use ASCII expression such as:

^(([a-zA-Z0-9]+)|(\-?[0-9]+))$

it works in both debug and production modes. but when switching to Unicode expression:

^(([\pL\pN]+)|(\-?[\pN]+))$

it only works in debug.

i am really stuck and would greatly appreciate any help. thank you!!!

Solution

  • Seems to me that JavaScript does not support Unicode shortcut/character-classes natively (see here and here).

    Just stick with the first version or use valid character classes.
