win_wait() cannot find window title that includes a comma; doesn't raise Timeout Error either

[Croculus]

I am trying to use win_wait to find a window that has a comma in it's title. It can't seem to find the window and for some reason it never returns a timeout error.

from ahk import AHK

ahk = AHK()


try:
    win = ahk.win_wait(title='comma,.txt - Notepad', timeout=5) # this part never returns anything
    print('Window found') #unreached code
except TimeoutError:
    print('Notepad was not found!') #unreached code

It could just be an AHK issue. I looked at the method definition and it looks clean, but I could be missing something.

I believe this is a bug. The title is not properly escaped in the win_wait implementation resulting in a malformed script where the arguments do not get injected as intended.

To workaround this bug in v0.x, you can escape manually the comma with a tilde:

win = ahk.win_wait(title='title`,withcomma', timeout=5)

This issue will be fixed in v1 (wherein the workaround above should not be used).

If you install ahk from the rewrite branch for v1 (#185 ), your code should work as expected.

This is now fixed in v1
