Testiny importer fails to parse linebreaks in JUnit Failure element message property

[Ben_Gruber1]

When adding automated results with a JUnit XML file generated by Pytest, it appears that Testiny fails to parse the message property of the failure element. The Line Feed characters (
) aren’t parsed, and are instead shown literally. An example is the following:

<failure message="assert -1 &lt; -1&#10;Failing test case: test_two_negative_numbers(&#10;    first_number=0,&#10;    second_number=-1,  # or any other generated value&#10;)">

It would be expected that this would be interpreted and rendered with a line break, or alternatively removed entirely.

3 - Steps to reproduce

Import the following example JUnit XML file:

junit.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

This results in the following being shown:

Hello Ben,

Thank you for your report - I can confirm that numeric entities (decimal and hex) are currently not decoded here.
We will provide a fix in one of the upcoming releases.

Regards,
Michael

This issue should be fixed with the latest release Testiny v1.41.0.

Best regards,
Alex
