Ticket #24218 was fixed via #24236 , but it introduced an error on Windows machines.

The following error is logged to the users Browser

Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid Unicode escape sequence

The generated link from the profiler looks like this on a Windows 10 machine:

javascript:var rq = new XMLHttpRequest(); rq.open('GET', 'http://localhost:8091?message=G:\_projects\xxxx\app\Resources\views\user\edit.html.twig:1', true); rq.send(null);

(My browser is Google Chrome Version 61.0.3163.100)

If the URL is opened by hand it correctly opens the file in my PHPStorm IDE (with enabled Remote Call Plugin).

If we manually escape the Windows directory dividers (backslash) with additional backslashes, the URL should look like this:

javascript:var rq = new XMLHttpRequest(); rq.open('GET', 'http://localhost:8091?message=G:\\_projects\\xxxx\\app\\Resources\\views\\user\\edit.html.twig:1', true); rq.send(null);

and is working fine.

This has been reported before here #24236 (comment) but I was asked to create a new issue here #24218 (comment)

I guessed here #24236 (comment) that the generated link variable should again be looked at from a Windows machine. Although its currently unclear where the XHR link is coming from (like guessed here #24236 (comment))
