RegEx aren't handled well

[dimitri.slavutsky@…]

Hi! I'm having issue to define a proper regex to handle my description field with this plugin.

The Description field should look like this:

---

== GOALS ==
Some Goals could be written here.
They could have some enumerations:

1. Number one
2. Number two

...

14. Number N

<end of goals>

Here could be some more text

---

after this block could be another block, or just empty.

I defined a regex and configured the plugin:

[components]
ticketvalidator.* = enabled

[ticketvalidator]
validates = description
description.rule = ^== '''GOALS''' ==[\n\r]*[.\r\n\s]*<end of goals>[\n\r]*[.\r\n]*
description.tip = Sections: Goals, Necessary input, Necessary output and Necessary resources have to exist.

If I am testing without any text in between the "Goals-Tags" it seems to be alright, as soon, as I am adding some text, I am getting my own tip: Sections: Goals, Necessary input, Necessary output and Necessary resources have to exist.

I tried to debug it and it seems, that re.py throughs Expected EOF Expression.
