Links to test results containing a hash (#) characters or a question mark (?) in their name

      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-9M3263)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)

      Some of our tests include hashes in their name/label causing Jenkins troubles when it tries to produce a link to these tests:

      Let's take this test for instance:

      spec/controllers/categories_controller_spec.rb.CategoriesController with a simple category hierarchy#index when path is valid.assigns @products and @highlight

      Jenkins currently produces the following link:
      http://hudson_fqnd/job/job_name/123/testReport/spec_controllers_categories_controller_spec.rb/CategoriesController%20with%20a%20simple%20category%20hierarchy#index when path is valid/assigns_products_and_highlight/

      Which does not work since '#' is a special character in URIs is used to split the anchor (also called the URI reference) from the rest of the URI.

      A fix would be to automatically replace '#' in test names by the javascript code %23.

      Similarly for the question mark, which delimitates the query.
      The equivalent escape code is %3F.

      I'm not a Java programmer myself unfortunately, but let me know if there is anything I can provide or do to help you with this issue.

          A test case to reproduce the issue would be helpful.

          Please reopen, when you can provide a test case i.e. an example test result file

          As you will see, the names contain special characters like # or ? which break the links when browsing the test results.

          The following test result will produce invalid links like http://your-host/job/foo/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/(root)/Foo#approve! is called by approve_on_foo?/notifies_owner_when_approved/

          Are you sure this is the test result file as parsed by Jenkins?
          I would expect something like 'testsuites' instead of 'suites' as element names and analogue for the other element names.
          If I try to parse the attached file with Jenkins, I get no test results.

          Are you using any plugin to parse your test results?

          Okay, I think I've fixed it now, but would still be good, if you could provide a working test case
