Re: Test::XML::XPath doesn't match

[Ovid]

As far as I can tell, Test::XML::XPath won't let you do this directly. I'm unsure why, but it seems like you really need to find a way to register the XHTML namespace. You'll hate this, but the following monkey patch should makes your test pass:

{   
    no warnings 'redefine';
    sub Test::XML::XPath::XML::LibXML::new {
        my ($class,$xml) = @_;
        my $p = XML::LibXML->new;
        $p->line_numbers(1);
        my $document = $p->parse_string($xml)
          or croak("Could not parse XML: $xml");
        my $xpc = XML::LibXML::XPathContext->new( $document->documentE
+lement );
        $xpc->registerNs( x => "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" );
        return bless { xpath => $xpc } => $class;
    }
}

The caveat is that you have to now use the 'x' prefix with your xpaths.

Update:: This assume that you're using XML::LibXML (which I assume you are).

like_xpath $html, '/x:html', 'An XHTML document';
