These releases fix a few bugs and introduce smaller new features as
well as a completely new experimental module that aims to provide a
DSL that controls the diff process inside of the control XML document.
Starting with XMLUnit 2.6.0 all XML parsers are configured according
to OWASP recommendations for XML eXternal Entity injection preventions
- - which means you need to override certain settings if you need to
load external entities. This is a change that breaks backwards
compatibility - at least in the Java version. If you've been using
.NET 4.5.2 or above all configurations have been safe by default
anyway.
XXE prevention is not enabled inside of the validation package and
XMLUnit for Java's legacy module.
The full list of changes for XMLUnit for Java:
* add a new experimental project xmlunit-placeholders which aims to
use ${xmlunit.FOO} expressions inside of the control document to
allow for a DSL-like approach of defining more complex tests. This
initial seed only supports ${xmlunit.ignore} which can be used to
make XMLUnit ignore the element containing this text.
PR #105 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit/pull/105) by
@zheng-wang.
* added withDocumentBuilderFactory methods to HasXPathMatcher and
EvaluateXPathMatcher to allow explicit configuration of the
DocumentBuilderFactory used.
Issue #108 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit/issues/108).
* the DocmentBuilderFactory and TransformerFactory instances used by
XMLUnit are now configured to not load any external DTDs or parse
external entities. They are now configured according to the OWASP
recommendations for XML eXternal Entity injection preventions. The
TransformerFactory used by the org.xmlunit.transform.Transformation
class is still configured to load external stylesheets, though.
For the legacy package XXE prevention has to be enabled via
XMLUnit.enableXXEProtection explicitly.
This is a breaking change and you may need to provide
DocmentBuilderFactory or TransformerFactory instances of your own if
you need to load external entities.
The SAXParserFactory and SchemaFactory instances used inside of the
validation package have not been changed as their use is likely to
require loading of external DTDs or schemas.
Issue #91 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit/issues/91).
* the configured NodeFilter is now applied before comparing
DocumentType nodes.
This change breaks backwards compatibility as the old behavior was
to ignore DocumentType when counting the children of the Document
node but not when actually comparing the DocumentType. Prior to this
change if one document had a document type declaration but the other
didn't, a HAS_DOCTYPE_DECLARATION difference was detected, this will
no longer be the case now. If you want to detect this difference,
you need to use a more lenient NodeFilter than NodeFilters.Default
(i.e. NodeFilters.AcceptAll) but then you will see an additional
CHILD_NODELIST_LENGTH difference.
The legacy package has been adapted and will behave as before even
when using NewDifferenceEngine.
Issue #116 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit/issues/116).
* added a new Source implementation
ElementContentWhitespaceStrippedSource which is similar to
WhitespaceStrippedSource but only affects text nodes that solely
consist of whitespace and doesn't affect any other text nodes. Also
added convenience ignoreElementContentWhitespace methods to
DiffBuilder and CompareMatcher.
Issue #119 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit/issues/119).
The full list of changes for XMLUnit.NET:
* add a new experimental module xmlunit-placeholders which aims to use
${xmlunit.FOO} expressions inside of the control document to allow
for a DSL-like approach of defining more complex tests. This
initial seed only supports ${xmlunit.ignore} which can be used to
make XMLUnit ignore the element containing this text.
* fixed the message when CompareConstraint or ValidationConstraints
(both NUnit 2.x and 3.x) as well as EvaluateXPathConstraint or
HasXPathConstraint (only the NUnit 3.x versions) pass but the
assertion fails because the constraint itself was wrapped in a Not
constraint.
* the NUnit 3.x EvaluateXPathConstraint failed to resolve the nested
constraint, leading to erroneous messages if the assertion failed.
Issue #25 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit.net/issues/25)
* the XmlDocument instances used internally in Convert and
Transformation now get their XmlResolver property set to null by
default - which happens to be the default value of .NET 4.5.2 and
later anyway. This is in accordance with the OWASP recommendations
for XML eXternal Entity injection preventions.
This may be a breaking change and you may need to provide an
explicit XmlResolver instance of your own if you need to load
external entities.
Issue #27 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit.net/issues/27).
* added a new ISource implementation
ElementContentWhitespaceStrippedSource which is similar to
WhitespaceStrippedSource but only affects text nodes that solely
consist of whitespace and doesn't affect any other text nodes. Also
added convenience IgnoreElementContentWhitespace methods to
DiffBuilder and CompareConstraint.
Issue similar to xmlunit/#119 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit/issues/119).
* the configured NodeFilter is now applied before comparing
XmlDocumentType nodes.
This change breaks backwards compatibility as the old behavior was
to ignore XmlDocumentType when counting the children of the
XmlDocument node but not when actually comparing the
XmlDocumentType. Prior to this change if one document had a document
type declaration but the other didn't, a HAS_DOCTYPE_DECLARATION
difference was detected, this will no longer be the case now. If you
want to detect this difference, you need to use a more lenient
NodeFilter than NodeFilters.Default (i.e. NodeFilters.AcceptAll) but
then you will see an additional CHILD_NODELIST_LENGTH difference.
Issue #26 (https://github.com/xmlunit/xmlunit.net/issues/26).
