Description

« Hide

selenium.getTitle() does not retrieve any text past the ampersand sign. Any title with & or it's HTML counterpart &amp; is not fully retrieved.

For example, in the following, only "First Part " is returned by selenium.getTitle():

<title>First Part & Second Part</title>

The same problem also exists when using selenium.getValue(field).

I would think this is happening in all selenium.getXXX() methods.

I guess I was trying to be too smart by escaping special characters. JIRA really needs a preview feature. Here's the message again just for kicks:

selenium.getTitle() does not retrieve any text past the ampersand sign. Any title with & or it's HTML counterpart & is not fully retrieved.

For example, in the following, only "First Part " is returned by selenium.getTitle():

<title>First Part & Second Part</title>

The nightly build does fix the issue. Thanks.
