Package: libxml-libxml-perl
Version: 1.58-0.3
Severity: normal
Hi,
the XML::LibXML::SAX parser does not raise an exception by default when
parsing invalid XML syntax. The other available SAX parsers on my
system, XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser (from the same libxml-libxml-perl
package) and XML::SAX::PurePerl (from libxml-sax-perl) do raise
exceptions by default, so this is inconsistent behaviour.
I'm attaching a test script that shows the problem. It defines a simple
XML handling class, MyHandler, which is derived from XML::SAX::Base,
and uses it to parse an invalid XML document with different SAX
parsers. The result output is:
%./saxtest.pl
Trying parser XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser...OK: got exception
Trying parser XML::SAX::PurePerl...OK: got exception
Trying parser XML::LibXML::SAX...ERROR: no exception
When called with the '-2' parameter, it uses another handling class,
MyHandler2, that differs from MyHandler only in that it has an explicit
'error' method. The resulting output is now;
% ./saxtest.pl -2
Trying parser XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser...OK: got exception
Trying parser XML::SAX::PurePerl...OK: got exception
Trying parser XML::LibXML::SAX...OK: got exception
(There's also a "-v" parameter that shows the error string, in case you
want to verify the cause of the exception.)
Note that XML::LibXML::SAX is the default SAX parser when
libxml-libxml-perl is installed, so it would seem even more important
for it to do the Right Thing.
I ran into the problem while inspecting test failures in libxtm-perl,
bug #249234. I'll send details there shortly.
Cheers,
