Michael Osipov commented on VELTOOLS-197: ----------------------------------------- Interesting, that seems odd! > xmlTool.find("./text()") (XPATH) not the same as xmlTool.getText () (METHOD) > when & in text > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: VELTOOLS-197 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-197 > Project: Velocity Tools > Issue Type: Bug > Components: GenericTools > Affects Versions: 3.1 > Reporter: steven van vlierberghe > Priority: Major > > #foreach ($item2 in $xmlf1.find("/input/rep/x")) > xpath: ${item2.find("./text()")} xml: $item2.getText() > #end > with $xmlf1 an XmlTool instance initialized on the following inputfile: > {code:java} > <input> > <rep> > <x>R&R</x> > <x>R&B</x> > </rep> > </input> > {code} > using VeloctityTools-XmlTool 2.0 : find("./text()") returns same as > getText() for an xmlTool instance (and complying with the expectation) > {code:java} > xpath: R&R xml: R&R > xpath: R&B xml: R&B > {code} > However, using XmlTool 3.1, the xpath construct does not return the same as > the getText, > so the xpath does not comply with expectation > {code:java} > xpath: R&R xml: R&R > xpath: R&B xml: R&B > {code} > > PS: > it can be solved in 3.1, by replacing $item2.find("./text()") by > $item2.find("./text()").node().getNodeValue() > BUT > this really requires to adapt the script > the actual problem is that I give support in our software to users for > running their own Velocity scripts in our software. > In the next version of our software, we upgraded Velocity + VelocityTools to > 3.1 > and as a consequence, scripts of the users might break; > meaning, this regression issue will impose our users to have to adapt their > scripts that are used in production > and for sure, they will not be happy having to do so -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
