Hello all (Ross),
I'm trying to get libxml to validate an XML::Document using #validate with
an XML::Schema.
Can one of you describe to me what is wrong ?
I have this, with the examples pasted at the end of this post. This is from
the W3Schools example at :
http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_example.asp
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'xml/libxml'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> xml = XML::Document.new('shiporder.xml')
=> <?xml version="shiporder.xml"?>
irb(main):004:0> sch = XML::Schema.from_string(File.open('shiporder.xsd
').read)
=> #<XML::Schema:0x365c54>
irb(main):005:0> xml.validate sch
error -- found validity error: no root element
=> false
irb(main):006:0>
