stripped-min-length Validation via UI Component Fails with "special" characters

[bap14]

When using a UI Component and adding the "stripped-min-length" validation as a rule to an input component, if the user inputs a "special" character (e.g. /, &, etc.) a javascript error is thrown.

Preconditions

1. Magento EE 2.1.7, Magento CE 2.1.7
2. PHP 7.0.17
3. MySQL 5.7.18

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a UI Component based form

2. Add the following validation to the XML form element definition

    <item name="validation" xsi:type="array">
        <item name="required-entry" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
        <item name="no-whitespace" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
        <item name="stripped-min-length" xsi:type="string">4</item>
    </item>
   

3. Test in admin using value a/b or ab/ or a&c

Expected result

1. Element should be invalidated due to length restriction

Actual result

1. Javascript syntax error

@bap14 thank you for your report.
Given this issue is reported against Enterprise edition, please report via the Support portal of your account or Partner portal if you are a partner reporting on behalf of a merchant.

@veloraven I installed Magento CE 2.1.7 and added my custom module and confirmed this does occur in the CE release as well. I would prefer to keep this in the public domain in case there are other developers running into this same issue. I can report it in both if necessary. I'll update the initial posting to include the CE edition as well.

I didn't specify this earlier, but I was working in the admin area, not the frontend.
