[groovy-user] Encoding issue with groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize()

[citron]

Hi,

Any ideas why the serialized xml becomes empty in this case?

I think it should be possible to put an 'ü' charter in the xml element.

Thanks!

def xml ="""<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Schlüssel>
text content
</Schlüssel>"""

groovy.util.slurpersupport.GPathResult s = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xml)

println groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize(s) // results in empty xml, why?

----- OUTPUT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Had a quick look, and I believe that asString( GPathResult ) inside XmlUtil doesn't set the encoding property on the builder after it is constructed...

As a workaround, you can do:

def outxml = new groovy.xml.StreamingMarkupBuilder().with {
  encoding = 'UTF-8'
  '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n' + bindNode( s )
}
println outxml

Can you add this to the JIRA though, as it looks like a bug

Thanks Tim!

Your suggestion is working and I added this to Jira.
