Quotation marks breaks manifest on creating bot

See original GitHub issue

Bug Report

Current Behavior If you use single or double quotation marks in creating probot, you get a manifest error on GitHub App creation. This error is caused by Github not being able to understand the given manifest from probot. For example if you have This is a bot to comment on pull requests on this user’s repositories as description of the prompt (when creating it from npm) the manifest won’t understands the json. But you if you change it to This is a bot to comment on pull requests on this user repositories. Notice the difference? user’s to user

just use the get started instructions: and put the example text given above as the description. Doesn’t have to be exact ( even this statement will break the manifest 😅)

Expected behavior/code Expected behavior is for the manifest to not be broken when you add quotation marks on bot’s description.

Environment

  • Probot version(s): 9.8.1
  • Node/npm version: 6.13.1
  • OS: Windows 10 but I also tried it on OS

Additional context/Screenshots This problem was believed to be fixed in this issue here: https://github.com/probot/probot/issues/727 But it seems to still be there.
