unclosed single quote + variable in locator causes unresponsive script
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 7833
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Running the following commands will cause Firefox to freeze:
<tr>
<td>store</td>
<td>[email protected]</td>
<td>email</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>assertElementPresent</td>
<td>css=div.error:contains('${email} is taken)</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
Eventually, Firefox will report:
"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop
the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.
Script: chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium-core/lib/sizzle.js:1"
Note that although
<td>css=div.error:contains('${email} is taken)</td>
crashes Firefox,
<td>css=div.error:contains('${email} is taken')</td>
<td>css=div.error:contains(' is taken)</td>
<td>css=div.error:contains(' is taken')</td>
Do not.
I recently updated to Firefox 32, so maybe that's playing a role.
The short fix is to just close the single apostrophe, but this really shouldn't cause
Firefox to freeze up.
Selenium version: 2.6.0
OS: Windows 7
Browser: Firefox 32

Hi,
Thank you for the report. I will try updating the sizzle library to see if it fixes
this issue.

Please take into account that sizzle library is also used by InternetExplorerDriver
for old IE versions. So we have to run all IE tests carefully after sizzle upgrade.
