in thread Xml::Twig:Xpath Xpath expression error

After reviewing your actual XML - it looks like your XPath is incorrect for your intentions. I don't see any attriubes in your XML.

Try something more like //OverallConnectionPoolStatus/FlowRater/Name/text() to reference your information.

The previous XPath's are attempting to search for attributes in the FlowRater node. What you actually have is a child node called Name with some information in it.

As far as why this works in some modules, and not in others I would postulate that the designer included this as a "feature" to help others out. - Or maybe you found a bug.

    I still cant make it to work :(
    The xpath expression you suggested:
    //OverallConnectionPoolStatus/FlowRater/Name/text()
    Still makes Twig crash! Why? it is a valid xpath expression!
