Empty Snapshot when implementing own Serializer

Discussed in #164

Hello,
I implemented my own Serializer with Jsonb. The snapshot is written well into the snap-file. But when comparing the snapshot to another snapshot, the body of the existing snapshot from the file is always an empty string.

This is my apply method
@Override public Snapshot apply(Object o, SnapshotSerializerContext context) { String json = this.jsonb.toJson(o); return context.toSnapshot(json); }
The jsonb object is initialized.

I saw that the regex in the implementation does not support line breaks. File Snapshot.java.
String regex = "^(?<name>.*?)(\\[(?<scenario>.*)\\])?=(?<header>\\{.*\\})?(?<snapshot>(.*)$)";
But normally any JSON should be formatted for readability.

Any ideas about this?

Regards
C

There indeed appears to be an issue with headers + JSON body when parsed using the REGEX. Should be fixed in the upcoming 4.0.8 release

The Maven release is being flakey today so I will try it again tomorrow.
