The exemplar scanner in _parse_remaining_text flipped its in-quotes state on every double quote, so a label value like x"y, which the writer emits as x\"y, made the whole line fail with "Invalid line". Ignore quotes preceded by an odd number of backslashes. Signed-off-by: spicysharkco <321699413+spicysharkco@users.noreply.github.com>

_parse_remaining_textinopenmetrics/parser.pyflips its in-quotes state on every", escaped or not. An exemplar label value that contains a quote, whichopenmetrics.exposition.generate_latestwrites as\", never reaches the closing}and the line is rejected, so the parser cannot read the writer's own output:The scan now skips a quote that is preceded by an odd number of backslashes, using the
_is_character_escapedhelper already in the module. The same applies to histogram and gaugehistogram bucket exemplars, which go through the same function.Added
test_exemplar_label_escapingnext totest_label_escaping. It fails on master with the error above and passes with the change; the\\row guards the closing quote after an escaped backslash.tests/openmetricspasses, flake8 and isort are clean. No issue exists for this.@csmarchbanks
