addError() always escapes html content in SF1 and Lightning

Hi Everyone,

the addError() method which you can use in an Apex Trigger alsways escapes the error message when used in SF1 or Lightning. Has anyone experienced the same and has a solution or should we contact Salesforce with a bug report?

Thanks,

Sten

Hello Sten,

addError() message always escapes html content in browser, sf1, lightining etc. But if you use normal text it works fine.

Hi Tejpal,

That is not correct. In the classic ui you can escape html content by doing addError('<a href="">Hi</a>', false); this will display the link in the error message. With SF1 & Lightning the message is always escaped.

Hello Sten,

Right, this is an issue in SF1 & lightning. You need to log a bug.

Hi,

Please note that the addError() method was never meant to render HTML, and hence it is expected behavior to escape HTML markup.

Please see the documentation here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_methods_system_sobject.htm#apex_System_SObject_addError

Hi Shashank,

Why is there an option to specify if you would like to not esacpe the error message? Also new line charachters are esacped as well. That is not HTML. 

There is clearly different behaviour between SF1/Lightning and Classic.

I checked internally and looks like R&D has identified this and are working on a fix. The current ETA is set to the next Summer '16 release. Please let me know if you have any questions.
