Logback updated to 1.2.3 and thus HTML reports are not displaying the links. When I looked at the HTML source it seems the link is coming as displayed below

<td class="Message">&lt;a href=&quot;com.prahs.tests.pso.masterOPT.cm.TC_265346-verifyContractCreationNov-14-2019 103619-40.html&quot; target=new&gt;verifyContractCreation&lt;/a&gt;</td>

How do we get rid off the special characters?

I think you need to encode the URL. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10786042/java-url-encoding-of-query-string-parameters/10786112#10786112 – Christoph John Nov 14 '19 at 16:26
I tried the approach and it didnt help me – vini007 Nov 14 '19 at 16:45
Okay, after the edit the link looks different. – Christoph John Nov 14 '19 at 16:58
Any other solution? – vini007 Nov 14 '19 at 17:47
You didn't state it in the question so I am asking: are you using the HTMLLayout for logging? Then it is normal that some characters are replaced. See this class where the replacement is done: https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/blob/master/logback-core/src/main/java/ch/qos/logback/core/helpers/Transform.java#L55 – Christoph John Nov 14 '19 at 20:02
But this conversion is happening in logback side. I mean i check the string value which i am sending to logback to create the data and there is no special characters in it, In fact this is happening after the file creation is happening – vini007 Nov 14 '19 at 20:56
Yes, of course. This is what the HTMLLayout is doing. Maybe you should post your logback config. – Christoph John Nov 14 '19 at 21:03
it seems its too long to post it here – vini007 Nov 14 '19 at 21:19
Upload it somewhere and post the link? – Christoph John Nov 15 '19 at 05:30
