"HTML strings must start with '<' character" warning broken in jQuery Migrate 1.2.0 #40
Description
Some of the HTML code generated in our project (via RequireJS + Handlebars) ends up badly formatted (with an empty line at the beginning) as shown in the attached screenshot.
Using jQuery Migrate 1.1.1, our console correctly shows the warning:
JQMIGRATE: $(html) HTML strings must start with '<' character
However, upgrading to jQuery Migrate 1.2.0 breaks this warning; instead it produces an Uncaught TypeError after trying to run the rignoreText regular expression over the selector:
match = rignoreText.exec( selector );
The warning produced in the console is:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null
Here is a JSFiddle which demonstrates the problem. If you get rid of the jQuery Migrate 1.2.0 (under "External Resources") and switch back to 1.1.0 or 1.1.1, the problem does not exist.
Note: This could quite likely be the same problem as reported in Issue 39, but just wanted to be sure!
