Re: QueryParser exception on escaped backslash preceding ) character

[Matt Magoffin <ap...@msqr.us>]

Sure:

import junit.framework.TestCase;

import org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer;
import org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser;
import org.apache.lucene.search.Query;

public class TestLuceneBackslashBug extends TestCase {

	public void testLuceneBackslashBug() throws Exception {
		// this fails
		Query q = new QueryParser("foo",new StandardAnalyzer()).parse(
			"-id:123 +(addr:Street143 AND zip:\\\\)");
	}

	public void testLuceneBackslashBugWorkaround() throws Exception {
		// this passes
		Query q = new QueryParser("foo",new StandardAnalyzer()).parse(
			"-id:123 +(addr:Street143 AND zip:\\\\ )");
	}

}
