[JENKINS-57021] Clearcase changelog not displaying correctly

[timja]

The clearcase changelog is no longer correctly displayed.

All comments are concatenated into one line.

• An end of line is changed to
  and when looking at html source it contains
  
• changelog.xml contains " and " appears in source html  ( can be fixed by modifying changelog.xml changing " to " ) 

Original ( in changelog.xml )

myUserName
My Change Comment
the second line of my comment

#1234 ( Apr 10, 2019 ...)

html page source

class="changeset-message">1. myUserName on 16/04/2019 13:22:59

My Change Comment*

( The display of the actual text is converted - the text contains
amp lt;br>
even here the
is converted ) - edit to see input text

I can't remember when it first happened, could have been the change from http to https

Could also be the configuration of the ReverseProxy

Changed from Trivial to minor - its a real pain . A multi line comment can no longer be read and it is really irritating.

sgjenkins:

to do with
changeset-message

sgjenkins:

This is still a big problem.

The changelog.xml file has:

myUserName
3569235
Added file element "file1.png".
Added file element "file2.png".
Added file element "file3.png".
Added file element "file4.xml".
Added file element "file5.png".
Added file element "fg6.jpg".
Added file element "file10.png".
Added file element "file11.png".
Added file element "file12.png".
...

the Jenkins output in the GUI for Changes ( jenkins/job_name/changes )  has:

29.myUserName detail0003569235
Added file element "file1.png".
Added file element "file2.png".
Added file element "file3.png".
Added file element "file4.png".
Added file element "file5.png".
Added file element "fg6.jpg".
Added file element "file10.png".
Added file element "file11.png".
Added file element "file12.png".

This is unreadable and the changes cannot be seen.
as I mentioned above - might be to do with changeset-message

I will reassign this to DB since the fix for user ID / user Name was, as far as I can tell, in the same area.

If you can set up a test instance, it would be interesting to know if it started in Jenkins 2.146 (i.e. whether it still worked in 2.145).

sgjenkins:

Unfortunately this was an issue a long time ago. I cannot say in which version it broke, sometime last year is my guess.
It was assigned to Praqma Support and nothing happened which is why I added more details and showed really how useless the output to the screen is.
Test installations are not easy to create, not allowed.
It looks a simple issue - could have been when everything was changed to using

Why change quotes to " and insert
everywhere and then ignore the html formating.

sgjenkins:

I tried a test instance with 2.145 - got a huge load of plugin warnings.
gave up in the end.

[timja]

sgjenkins:

From what I can see, Praqma created the clearacse UCM plugins.
I do not have these installed -
I have Clearcase - version 1.6.3
and Simple Dynamic Clearcase 1.2.2
This is more an display issue.

sgjenkins:

since the recent change to

in 2.277.1 this looks even worse.
The Changes page in jenkins is now more blank than ever.

I realize this is annoying, but a UI glitch is not quite "critical".
