NullRef using JsonPath.SelectToken

[StefH]

Describe the bug

When using the JsonPath.SelectToken feature in the handlebar transformer, I get a null ref exception. The exception occurs in HandlebarsDotNet.Helpers.JsonPathHelpers.SelectToken(object, string). Decompiling shows that the value of the string parameter is "name\" including the backslash. If I remove the backslash then everything works but the backslash is just the escape character for the double-quote. if this is the good old ID10T or pebcak issue, then please close. My guess is it's an off-by-one in some string parsing.

Expected behavior:

Handlebar transformation should function as described in example at https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/wiki/Response-Templating#jsonpath.

Test to reproduce

• 1 Run the code below
• 2 Get the Null Ref exception
• Add watch statements
  • ParseAsJToken(value, "SelectToken").SelectToken("name") - evaluates correctly
  • ParseAsJToken(value, "SelectToken").SelectToken("name\") - evaluates to null

Hello @sethsouthern.

WireMock.Net uses HandlebarsDotNet.Helpers.JsonPathHelpers to handle JsonPath. This project is located here:
https://github.com/Handlebars-Net/Handlebars.Net.Helpers

I did move the issue.

And can you please create a failing unit test ?
I want to check if this is an issue in JsonPath, JsonPathHelpers or Handlebars.Net
