Bug: Vertical Bar Character as class name throws an Exception #1998

Consider the following HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head><title>Title</title></head>
<body> 
   <button class="|">Button</button>
</body>
</html>

This HTML is valid according to https://validator.w3.org/nu/#textarea

If I try to get the CSS selector of the button, a SelectorParseException is being thrown:

Document doc = Jsoup.parse("<!DOCTYPE html>\n" +
                           "<html lang=\"en\">\n" +
                           "<head><title>Title</title></head>\n" +
                           "<body> \n" +
                           "  <button class=\"|\">Button</button>\n" +
                           "</body>\n" +
                           "</html>");
Elements elements = doc.select("button");
String selector = elements.get(0).cssSelector();

Stacktrace (Jsoup latest stable version 1.16.1):

org.jsoup.select.Selector$SelectorParseException: String must not be empty
	at org.jsoup.select.QueryParser.parse(QueryParser.java:47)

A real-world example where a class name is being used that consists only of a vertical bar character can be found here: https://www.mueller.at/ (Search for .\| in the browser DevTools to find an example node)

If the vertical bar character appears inside a class name (e.g. a|b) a different error is thrown:

org.jsoup.select.Selector$SelectorParseException: Could not parse query 'button.a|b': unexpected token at '|b'

Yes, | is a valid class name in HTML, while it's not a valid CSS identifier. It needs to be escaped as a CSS identifier, while TokenQueue#escapeCssIdentifier is NOT doing this correctly.

Inspired by mathiasbynens/CSS.escape, I wrote the following code,

    /*
    Given a CSS identifier (such as a tag, ID, or class), escape any CSS special characters that would otherwise not be
    valid in a selector.
     */
    public static String escapeCssIdentifier(String in) {
        StringBuilder result = StringUtil.borrowBuilder();
        int[] codePoints = in.codePoints().toArray();
        int length = codePoints.length;
        int firstCodePoint = codePoints[0];
        // If the character is the first character and is a `-` (U+002D), and
        // there is no second character, […]
        if (length == 1 && firstCodePoint == 0x002D) {
            return ESC + in;
        }
        int index = -1;
        while (++index < length) {
            int codePoint = codePoints[index];
            // Note: there’s no need to special-case astral symbols, surrogate
            // pairs, or lone surrogates.
            // If the character is NULL (U+0000), then the REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
            // (U+FFFD).
            if (codePoint == 0x0000) {
                result.append('\uFFFD');
                continue;
            }
            if (
                // If the character is in the range [\1-\1F] (U+0001 to U+001F) or is
                // U+007F, […]

                            (
                                    index == 1 &&
                                            codePoint >= 0x0030 && codePoint <= 0x0039 &&
                                            firstCodePoint == 0x002D
                            )
            ) {

                result.append(ESC).append(Integer.toHexString(codePoint)).append(' ');
                continue;
            }

            // If the character is not handled by one of the above rules and is

            if (

                            codePoint == 0x002D ||

                // the character itself
                result.append(new String(codePoints, index, 1));
                continue;
            }

            // Otherwise, the escaped character.
            // https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom/#escape-a-character
            result.append(ESC).append(new String(codePoints, index, 1));
        }
        return StringUtil.releaseBuilder(result);
    }

then animal-sniffer-maven-plugin complained

It seems to be a bit troublesome to make it work with Android.

And I've found out a few more related issues.

  1. Element.cssSelector() generates invalid queries if the class or ID is invalid; needs escaping #1742
  2. CSS identifier escapes are not supported #838
