Talend 5.6 bug for password field after clicking on JobScript

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 21:57:29 GMT

This looks like a bug in Talend 5.6.
I've seen it occur for both tSendMail and tOracleConnection, but I would expect it to also happen in any component that takes a password.
Drag a tSendMail onto the screen, click Need Authentication, and set the password field, either to a string value or to a context variable.
If it is a string value of "password", the following code is generated:

final String decryptedPassword_tSendMail_1 = routines.system.PasswordEncryptUtil
                                                    .decryptPassword("a54bbfcc1190b7e1f4f7aba1746784ea");

If it is a context variable of context.password with a value of "password", the following code is generated instead:

final String decryptedPassword_tSendMail_1 = context.password;

Everything is fine so far.
Now click on the Jobscript tab, then click back onto the Code tab. An error is revealed, as the decrypted password does not contain any quotation marks (note that if it doesn't work the first time, switch back to JobScript then to Code):
For a password of string "password":

final String decryptedPassword_tSendMail_1 = PoLvNyVG2XWndNDdLn696A==;

For a context variable of context.password with a value of "password":

final String decryptedPassword_tSendMail_1 = 8pW6Nmy2kuczSBOgoJ7Ub24fQgd+SRSj;

It is also interesting to note that both decryted passwords are not identical.

The same problem occurs for tOracleConnection:
Before clicking on JobScript, a string value of "password" is:

final String decryptedPassword_tOracleConnection_1 = routines.system.PasswordEncryptUtil
                        .decryptPassword("a54bbfcc1190b7e1f4f7aba1746784ea");

After clicking on JobScript and then back to Code:

final String decryptedPassword_tOracleConnection_1 = PoLvNyVG2XWndNDdLn696A==;

Before clicking on Jobscript, a context variable of context.password with a value of password is:

final String decryptedPassword_tOracleConnection_1 = context.password;

After clicking on Jobscript and back to code:

final String decryptedPassword_tOracleConnection_1 = 8pW6Nmy2kuczSBOgoJ7Ub24fQgd+SRSj;

Here is the tSendMail in Talend 5.5, which does not cause any error:
Before clicking on JobScript, a string value of "password" is:

final String decryptedPassword_tSendMail_1 = routines.system.PasswordEncryptUtil
                                                    .decryptPassword("a54bbfcc1190b7e1f4f7aba1746784ea");

After clicking on JobScript and back to Code:

final String decryptedPassword_tSendMail_1 = routines.system.PasswordEncryptUtil
                                                    .decryptPassword("a54bbfcc1190b7e1f4f7aba1746784ea");

Before clicking on JobScript, a context variable of context.password with a value of password is:

final String decryptedPassword_tSendMail_1 = context.password;

After clicking on JobScript and back to Code:

final String decryptedPassword_tSendMail_1 = context.password;

How can I prevent this from occurring?

Thanks and best regards,
