The pyquery object that WebTest constructs does not specify the parser:
pyquery
webtest/webtest/response.py
Line 502 in 561ef78
Which means it uses the xml parser:
https://pyquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tips.html#using-different-parsers
For html responses, we should be using the html parser. For an example of the difference it makes, consider code inside a <script> tag:
<script>
>>> PyQuery('<html><body><script>var x = "<span></span>"; </script></body></html>').find('span') [<span>] >>> PyQuery('<html><body><script>var x = "<span></span>"; </script></body></html>', parser='html').find('span') []
The latter is what we want, and agrees with what browsers do.
