[🐛 Bug]: JSON decoding fails on '='

[Davincible]

What happened?

JSON decoding fails if an '=' is added with a "string untermindated" error. I'm guessing this has something todo with the unicode escaping.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Fails:

java -jar selenium-server-4.6.0.jar standalone --port 50859 --detect-drivers false --driver-configuration display-name="Chrome Custom" stereotype='{"browserName":"chrome","goog:chromeOptions":{"args":["--user-data-dir=\"./data\""]},"pageLoadStrategy":"normal"}' webdriver-executable=driver/driver_xyz

Works:

java -jar selenium-server-4.6.0.jar standalone --port 50859 --detect-drivers false --driver-configuration display-name="Chrome Custom" stereotype='{"browserName":"chrome","goog:chromeOptions":{"args":["--user-data-dir \"./data\""]},"pageLoadStrategy":"normal"}' webdriver-executable=driver/driver_xyz

Thank you for providing the details. I was able to reproduce it and fix it locally. Though I think I found another bug, now that the Grid starts as expected, I don't see the argument values being respected for a new session. I want to first confirm and see how we do it in code and what is expected.

[pujagani]

Will be triaging the bug discovered as part of this in another issue/PR fix.
