Ticket descriptions do not escape HTML entities

Reported by Aman Gupta | July 31st, 2008 @ 05:24 PM

Making posting ruby error backtraces particularly painful:

This won't show up:

>> p RuntimeError.new('some crazy error')

#

But if I escape it manually, it will:

>> p RuntimeError.new('some crazy error')

#<RuntimeError: some crazy error>

    • → Tag changed from “@high error” to “tickets”
    • → State changed from “new” to “open”

    and you're pasting these into your LH rickets or it's coming in from the API?

    What if you put them into code blocks for formatting by using @@@ruby

    http://lighthouseapp.com/help/te... has more details

    example

    >> p RuntimeError.new('some crazy error')
    
    #<RuntimeError: some crazy error>

    • → Tag changed from “tickets” to “email tickets”

    Test:

    >> p RuntimeError.new('some crazy error')
    #<RuntimeError: some crazy error> 
    

    Seems to work.. however the email notification I received had the same problem- everything after the # was missing.

    As a sidenote, the formatting page is hard to read. A light background on the left half would help distinguish the source from the results.

    • → Tag changed from “email tickets” to “@high email tickets”
    • → Assigned user changed from “” to “rick”

    Indeed, I noticed it wasn't workin in the email too. I'll bring this up at the start of next week when Rick is back in the office and we'll start working on a fix. It will probably be tied into our update for markdown.

    Thanks for pointing this out. Sorry about the issue.
