#11983: Boost Test XML Report contains unescaped XML characters
-------------------------------+---------------------
Reporter: m8mble <m8mble@â¦> | Owner: rogeeff
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: test
Version: Boost 1.60.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: XML, Test, Report |
-------------------------------+---------------------
I've encountered problems with the boost test reports in XML format. They
contain unescaped characters ("<" and ">") in the TestCase name attribute
for template tests. Here is a minimal example:
{{{
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE huhu
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/test/test_case_template.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/list.hpp>
typedef boost::mpl::list<int> types;
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE( test, Type, types ) {}
}}}
When running with `--report_format=XML --report_level=detailed`, this will
include the following in the XML report:
{{{
<TestCase name="test<i>" result="passed"...
}}}
The "<" and ">" characters inside the name attribute must be escaped
according to the XML specifications.
I verified, that boost versions 1.53, 1.54 and 1.59 correctly escaped
those characters. Interestingly , the unescaped characters appear in the
XML report only. The XML logger is not affected for all boost versions
including 1.60. When running with `--log_format=XML --log_level=all` any
boost test version correctly prints
{{{
<TestCase name="test<i>" ...
}}}
