      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-9M3263)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)

      Some of our tests include hashes in their name/label causing Jenkins troubles when it tries to produce a link to these tests:

      Let's take this test for instance:

      spec/controllers/categories_controller_spec.rb.CategoriesController with a simple category hierarchy#index when path is valid.assigns @products and @highlight

      Jenkins currently produces the following link:
      http://hudson_fqnd/job/job_name/123/testReport/spec_controllers_categories_controller_spec.rb/CategoriesController%20with%20a%20simple%20category%20hierarchy#index when path is valid/assigns_products_and_highlight/

      Which does not work since '#' is a special character in URIs is used to split the anchor (also called the URI reference) from the rest of the URI.

      A fix would be to automatically replace '#' in test names by the javascript code %23.

      Similarly for the question mark, which delimitates the query.
      The equivalent escape code is %3F.

      I'm not a Java programmer myself unfortunately, but let me know if there is anything I can provide or do to help you with this issue.
