Challenge freezing on incorrect input

See original GitHub issue

Describe your problem and how to reproduce it: The Define the Head and Body of an HTML Document challenge freezes if you enter in code like

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>The best page ever</title>
  <head>

  <body>
    <h1>The best page ever</h1>
    <p>Cat ipsum dolor sit amet, jump </p>
  <body> <!-- this tag should be closing -->
</html>

where the body tag is not closed. This is a common enough mistake and the freezing is not directly caused by the user code - it’s how our tests interact with it.

Add a Link to the page with the problem:

The cause

The last test causes the problem, I think the regex gets stuck in a loop.

Thanks for the heads up @morgan-sam, I should have removed the label. I’m in the process of updating how user code makes it into the test frame and, once that’s done, #39112 should work.

Is help still wanted with this issue? Asking because #39112 is still open
