Long namespaces in building xml document, separated by the dots.

[Ruslan Strazhnyk]

Hello, 

I want to build an XML document, with such piece of code.

 <propertiesJMeter>
        <jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts>true</jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts>
  </propertiesJMeter>

 

but when I write it like this 

propertiesJMeter {
jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts 'true'
} 

I recieve such XML output, which is incorrect

<propertiesJMeter>
<jmeter class="save saveservice thread_counts">true</jmeter>
</propertiesJMeter> 

How should I use Nokogiri to avoid this?

Regards and thanks

Can you show the Ruby code you're using?

Hello Mike,

yes, the code is the following http://pastebin.com/seA4V1pR

The issue is that

    jmeter.save

is interpreted by Nokogiri Builder as a "Tag Attribute Short Cut" (as you can read about at http://www.rubydoc.info/github/sparklemotion/nokogiri/Nokogiri/XML/Builder).

To make a tag with a "." in the tagname, you'll need to make sure ruby doesn't interpret the "." as an instance method call. This works:

    propertiesJMeter {

      send "jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts", 'true'

    }

and emits

    <propertiesJMeter>

      <jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts>true</jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts>

    </propertiesJMeter>

Make sense?
