I have most of it working:
public function testEmptyListCoercion():void{
var node:XML = <type type="without name
attribute"><val>2</val></type>;
var list:XMLList = node.@name;
var str:String = list;
assertTrue(str == '');
str = 'test'+list;
assertTrue(str == 'test');
var n:Number = Number(list); //WIP
assertTrue(n == 0);
n = 1+list;
assertTrue(n == 1);
var b:Boolean = Boolean(list);
assertTrue(b === true);
b = list || false;
assertTrue(b === true);
//non-empty coercion example
list = node.val;
n = 1+list; // this should be string concatentation ultimately
coerced to Number
assertTrue(n === 12);
}
Everything is passing there except for the
var n:Number = Number(list);
marked WIP and I am close with that also. There was no need to use
XMLList.plus, but so far I am coercing xmlish and non-xmlish concatenation
with String(xmlish) (and not with Language.string which triggers valueOf).
I guess I need to check more complex concatenations with 3 or more elements
being added as well.
I will try to get it in tomorrow before I start my normal work hours.
