Regex working in browser, but NOT in Enonic XP controller

Bugs
1

Enonic version: 6.7.3
OS: Mac and Linux

These work in the browser console, but for some reason the do not work in an Enonic XP controller.

        var test = "svg\r\n    class=\"\n\rtestclass\r\n\"\n\r    xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    viewBox=\"0 0 212.6 186.12\"\n>".replace(/(class=)(["'])((?:(?=(\\?))\3[\S\s])*?)\2/, function(match, p1, p2, p3, offset, string) {return p1 + p2 + p3 + (p3.length ? ' ': '') + 'JALLA' + p2;});
        log.info(`test:${test}`);
        var test2 = "svg\r\n    class=\"\n\rtestclass\r\n\"\n\r    xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    viewBox=\"0 0 212.6 186.12\"\n>".replace(/^(svg[\S\s]*?class=)(["'])((?:(?=(\\?))\3[\S\s])*?)\2([\S\s]*)/, "$1$2$3 JALLA$2$5");
        log.info(`test2:${test2}`);

You can simplify to match(/…/), the replace is just for showing what I actually want to do.

Ideas taken from:

Replacing [\s\S] with (.|\r|\n) or (.|[\r\n]) does not help.

Went with this “workaround” instead:

const searchValue = 'class="';
const foundIndex = string.indexOf(searchValue);
if(foundIndex !== -1) {
    string = string.slice(0, foundIndex) + searchValue + classesString + ' ' + string.slice(foundIndex + searchValue.length);
} else {
    string = string.replace(/^svg/, `svg class="${classesString}"`);
}

I only tried the first regexp but there is something strange.
I do not understand your “\3”. It references the capturing group containing it. If you remove it, the regexp seems to work

5

I’m looking for balanced quotes (singles or doubles).
Which is why the second capture is reused to match the captured quote.

It’s possible the third capture snook in during experimentation, let me think about it.

?= Match a suffix but exclude it from capture

7

?= is for positive look ahead

8

But from what I see, the 3rd capturing group starts with the parenthesis just after “(class=)([”’])"

Explanation from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/171480/regex-grabbing-values-between-quotation-marks

Just keep in mind I have added another capture. (So \1 becomes \2, \2 becomes \3.)

([""']) match a quote; ((?=(\?))\2.) if backslash exists, gobble it, and whether or not that happens, match a character; *? match many times (non-greedily, as to not eat the closing quote); \1 match the same quote that was use for opening.

I could probably remove that gooble, since I’m not expecting backslashes in class names.
I’m guessing backslash in class names is invalid anyway.

11

Issue still remains though, that it works in the browser console and not in Enonic XP. For all I know it might be a bug in Nashorn…

I don’t think this is important though. Very corner case.
