QUnit/testrunner.js fails when error message contains XML-interpreted characters

[bdumon]

When a test throws an exception and the exception message contains characters with an XML-meaning, the testrunner will fail with a SAXParseException.

For example, I've got a test which throws an exception whose message is like this:

The element type "input" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</input>"

which will in turn cause an error like:

test_core: Wrapped java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "wrap" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</wrap>". (file:/home/bruno/projects/kauri/trunk/modules/kauri-forms/kauri-forms-framework/../kauri-forms-jquery/src/main/kauri/js/testrunner.js#146)

The solution is either to escape any special characters in the message string, or to not interprete it as HTML.

In the attached patch, I take the latter approach.

Patch against svn rev 5726

Fixed at [5730]. I actually added the same modification before checking your patch. I modified the "informal" version of qunit, I'll let Joern know about this change. Thanks for reporting.

Now also part of QUnit itself, see [5812].
