A comma in the test name appears with a backslash in the test report

When you have a comma in a test module name it appears as an escaped (with backslash) comma in the test window. I.e.:

Tests.QNameFunctions.fn:QName-against-empty\, for generic-comparison

Not a big bug of any kind, just thought you'd know about it. Note that it does *not* happen in test names themselves (i.e., methods), but in modules.

This is interesting. I wonder if this is being done by the test framework or something even further under the hood. Can you confirm which test framework and language you're using?

You were quick to reply!

I just ran it in the NUnit GUI runner, latest beta version. It shows the same backslash there, so it is possibly a bug with NUnit itself.

And just in case Microsoft's compiler added it, this is what Reflector shows of the module (static class in C#):

Yes, that definitely looks like an NUnit one. I'm not sure if there's much I can do to help here. I don't think it would be wise for NCrunch to try and clean it up, in case other relevant data got lost.

I agree, because then you'd create a discrepancy between how NUnit reports tests and classes. I'll see if I can raise it there as a bug report.
