Test description is not parsed if it includes ">

[mrverdant13]

Description

Some test descriptions that include double quotes result in parsing issues that blocks the execution of the actual test.

How to reproduce

Case 1

Enclosing double quotes with a wrapped content that starts with a >.

test('version is ">={version}', () {
  // My test
});

test('version is "> something"', () {
  // My test
});

Output:

Case 2

Single " char followed by a > char (without closing the quotes).

test('version is "> something', () {
  // My test
});

Output:

Expected behaviour

The tests descriptions are expected to be parsed and the underlying test to be run.

I can't reproduce this on macOS and wonder if it's somehow related to quote escaping. In the logs (collected with the Dart: Capture Debugging Logs command) things appear to be escaped correctly:

Will do some testing on Windows soon.
