junitxml not filtering ^[ characters which causes jenkins reporting to fail #267
Description
Originally reported by: Anonymous
We have tests that wrap a binary tool in pexpect. If there is a problem with the test and we get a pexpect traceback where the junit results contain some xml characters that cause Jenkins junit reporter to fail and consequently not report results.
The culprit is "^[" (0x1b) that doesn't seem to be filtered out by pytest.
