We have an academic here who tells us that back in 2005, so around version 2.6.2, they experienced an issue with xmllint failing to flag up an error when validating an XML file against a Schema file.
The academic suggests that the issue went away and that the error in the XML was picked up but can't recall the "fix" that was made back then. We currently have 2.9.0 and the academic has recently reported to us that they're seeing the same failure to flag up the invalidity. $xmllint --version xmllint: using libxml version 20900 compiled with: Threads Tree Output Push Reader Patterns Writer SAXv1 FTP HTTP DTDValid HTML Legacy C14N Catalog XPath XPointer XInclude Iconv ISO8859X Unicode Regexps Automata Expr Schemas Schematron Modules Debug Zlib Lzma $xmllint -schema Test_XML_Schema.xsd Test_Document.xml <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <A a="a1"> <B b="a2"/> </A> Test_Document.xml validates $ $cat Test_XML_Schema.xsd <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xsd:element name="A"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name = "B"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:attribute name = "b" type = "xsd:IDREF" use = "required"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:attribute name = "a" type = "xsd:ID" use = "required"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> $ $ cat Test_Document.xml <?xml version = "1.0" standalone = "no"?> <A a = "a1"> <B b = "a2"/> </A> $ Academic says that as the IDREF a2 is not defined, xmllint should, and indeed used to, flag that up.
