[Python-modules-team] Bug#739922: xmlrunner does not support ]]> in error messages and std{out/err}

[Artur R. Czechowski]

Package: python-xmlrunner
Version: 1.5.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Forwarded: https://github.com/danielfm/unittest-xml-reporting/issues/48


Following simple test snippet:

---8<--- [cut] ---8<---
#!/usr/bin/env python
import unittest
import xmlrunner

class Foo(unittest.TestCase):
    def testFoo(self):
        self.assertTrue(False, ']]>')

unittest.main(testRunner=xmlrunner.XMLTestRunner(output='test-reports'))
---8<--- [cut] ---8<---

results with unhandled exception:

ValueError: ']]>' not allowed in a CDATA section

Multiple CDATA sections can be added in a manner that will result with following final output:

---8<--- [cut] ---8<---
        <error message="]]>" type="AssertionError">
<![CDATA[Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./t.py", line 7, in testFoo
    self.assertTrue(False, ']]]]><![CDATA[>')
AssertionError: ]]]]><![CDATA[>
]]>     </error>
---8<--- [cut] ---8<---
