To-Do / Shopping list wildcards currently matches partial words, which makes some sentence definitions to work wrongly

[arpia49]

Hello, I'm unable to make the following sentences work:

• Añadir manzanas a la lista de la compra
• Añadir manzanas a mi lista de la compra

While the following works fine:

• Añadir manzanas en la lista de la compra
• Añadir manzanas en mi lista de la compra

@davefx I think something may be wrong in the definition, maybe spacing?

sentences/es/shopping_list_HassShoppingListAddItem.yaml

Having the same issue, I think the problem is because of this

so basically

    data:
      - sentences:
          - <añadir> <item> (en|a)<my_list>
        response: item_added
        expansion_rules:
          my_list: "[ mi| la] lista [de] [la] [compra]"

HA gets manzas a l as <item> then a as (a) then lista de la compra as <my_list>.

To workaround this I extended the intent:

language: "es"
intents:
  HassShoppingListAddItem:
    data:
      - sentences:
          - "apunta {shopping_list_item:item}."
        response: item_added

With this I just have to say apunta manzanas.

To be noticed that the final . avoids having manzanas. on your list.

Reopening the issue. The problem is not fixed and still happens in the last version, both with to-do lists and with the shopping list.

The problem is caused because of the wildcard rule, that currently matches partial words.
In order to make it work, I've made a change in the to-do list sentence definition so we always require the definite article "la lista" in order to avoid false recognitions (but then ignoring sentences without the definite article).

@synesthesiam Could we make some kind of change so the {shopping_list_item:item} wildcard only matches full words (and never partial words), so Añadir manzanas a la lista de la compra never matches manzanas a l as the item name?

We should be able to support all these sentences:
Añadir manzanas a lista de la compra
Añadir manzanas a la lista de la compra

But now, if we define a rule like <añadir> <item> (en|a) [la] lista de la compra, it will always identify manzanas a l as the item list.

I could try to find another sentence that works and add it with a higher precedence over the wildcar, but what puzzles me the most is: Why does this not fail when running the tests?
That worries me because the tests should catch this kind of situations.
