( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I am trying to perform a normal query into an XML document where something has been declared about the default namespace. If the xmlns="..." part of the data is removed then this test succeeds. What needs to change in my XPath query //lastName or XML::LibXML parser object so that this query will succeed?

use Test::More tests => 2; use XML::LibXML (); { my $xml = <<'XML'; <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <sdnList> <sdnEntry> <lastName>Hello world!</lastName> </sdnEntry> </sdnList> XML my $parser = XML::LibXML->new; my $doc = $parser->parse_string($xml); my $result = $doc->findvalue('//lastName'); is( $result, "Hello world!", "No namespace" ); } { my $xml = <<'XML'; <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <sdnList xmlns="http://tempuri.org/sdnList.xsd"> <sdnEntry> <lastName>Hello world!</lastName> </sdnEntry> </sdnList> XML my $parser = XML::LibXML->new; my $doc = $parser->parse_string($xml); my $result = $doc->findvalue('//lastName'); is( $result, "Hello world!", "Namespace" ); }

Results

1..2 ok 1 - No namespace not ok 2 - Namespace # Failed test 'Namespace' # in sdl2.pl at line 30. # got: '' # expected: 'Hello world!' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
