Encoding issue when & html entity is followed by a ";" not preceded by a "&".

[Laurianti]

Hello, I think this is a strange behaviour:

Code:

console.log('--- input ---------------------------------------------');
console.log(input);
var output = create(input);
console.log('--- output --------------------------------------------');
console.log(output.toString({prettyPrint: true}));

Output:

--- input ---------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<testsuites>
  <testsuite>
    <testcase name="&amp;"/>
    <!-- OK -->
    <testcase name="&quot;"/>

    <!-- BROKEN -->
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

This happen when & html entity is followed by a ";" not preceded by a "&".

Should be fixed?

@oozcitak : Hi Ozgur, This issues is pretty blocking for us. Do you know if and when we could expect a fix? Kind regards, Henk

Is there any update on merging this change anytime soon? I'm also experiencing this issue and I see this has been open since last year.

@oozcitak Just made #154 to help bring this across the finish line.
