Angle brackets in ASTs are eaten in testing language, because the runtime considers them HTML.

A workaround (fix?) is to add this to the testing language plugin:

strategies

override write-to-string =
proceed;
string-replace(|“&”, “&”);
string-replace(|“<”, “<”);
string-replace(|“>”, “>”)

A global override of write-to-string that affects all tested code might not be the best solution. Maybe we need a little wrapper function write-to-html-string in the testing language instead? :)

Indeed. Also, just changing write-to-string does not appear to cover all cases (I think if the output is already a string angle brackets may slip through).

If you have a fix or a partial fix, please commit it. (And ServicePuntEWI is being really helpful but they should really be fixing the coffee room.)

Committed partial fix in r24269.
