Json rendered in test console not useable?

[Michael-Tajmajer-Emrsn]

The Json generated in the web browser (runner) is causing an exception when I cut and paste it into my test.

If actual is valid, update your snapshot with the following
{
"markup matches snapshot with Good Status 1": { "div": { "_class": "root-container", "_data-hitid": "dispel2", "_data-modelid": "dispel2", "_style": "left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 100px; height: 36px; opacity: 1;", "div": { "_style": "position: relative; width: 100%; height: 100%;", "div": { "_class": "visualOverflowHidden", "_style": "opacity: 1; line-height: normal; text-decoration: none; height: 100%; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: \\\"Segoe UI\\\"; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;", "div": { "_style": "width: 100%; height: 100%; cursor: default; text-decoration: none; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: flex-end;", "div": { "__text": "Good Data", "_style": "max-width: 100px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; text-align: right;", "_title": "" } }, "style": { "__text": "input {\n border: 0\n}\n \n\n*:focus {\n outline: none;\n}" } } } }},

Expected function not to throw, but it threw SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 831.

I'm not quite sure what the issue is?

It seems that the newlines (\n) are the culpret here.

maybe the json displayed in the browser can encode special characters and do the same when it compares the xml?

Otherwise, thanks for such a helpful library!

I'll have to test this myself and see about encoding.

For now, I have to deal with an Irma :P

I ran into the same issue and found that the exception gets thrown when the snapshot library reads an existing snapshot which has a \n in it. The workaround I found is that in the saved snapshot change all '\n' to '\n' to escape them.

When reading a saved snapshot, the \n gets parsed and the json gets split into multiple lines and the parsing on the json fails.
@horvay will you be able to look into it ? Not sure if the issue is here or in vkbeautify

I definitely need to look into this. I've just been so busy, and this week is especially bad. I'll put a reminder for myself to look into this.
