Rexml/document : one tag not closing

ruby-talk
1

Ruby 1.8.6 on Windows. The following code runs fine.. But I don't get
the </DataSource> that I expect between </ConnectionString> and
</DataSources>. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong..

require 'rexml/document'
doc = REXML::Document.new
datasource = doc.add_element 'DataSources'
datasource.add_element( 'DataSource', {'Name' => 'LOCAL', 'Type' =>
"Cedara DbS P10", 'Default' => '',
                        'MaxLimit' => 500})
schema = datasource.add_element 'Schema'
schema.add_text "DbSP10Schema.xml"
connectionstring = datasource.add_element 'ConnectionString'
connectionstring.add_text "Provider=ISG OLE DB DbS Provider; Data
Source=localhost:3205"

doc.write

Thanks,

This is because you did not add nested elements to DataSource. My output looks like this

irb(main):013:0* doc.write
<DataSources><DataSource MaxLimit='500' Name='LOCAL' Default='' Type='Cedara DbS P10'/><Schema>DbSP10Schema.xml</Schema><ConnectionString>Provider=ISG OLE DB DbS Provider; Data
Source=localhost:3205</ConnectionString></DataSources>=> [<?xml ... ?>, <DataSources> ... </>]

This is because you probably confused DataSources and DataSource. Your variable named "datasource" holds DataSources and so you add Schema to that instead of to DataSource.

Kind regards
