Rexml error - REXML::Validation

ruby-talk
1

Hi all,

ruby -v

ruby 1.8.2 (2004-10-11) [sparc-solaris2.9]

This bit of code, that seemed to work fine on 1.8.1, is now choking:

require "rexml/document"
include REXML

file = "some_file"
database = "foo"

doc = Document.new(File.new(file))
ary = doc.elements.to_a("//name[text()='#{database}']")
parent = ary[0].parent

Running this bit of code, I get:

opt/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/treeparser.rb:80:in `parse':
uninitialized constant REXML::Validation (NameError)
        from /opt/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:175:in
`build'
        from /opt/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:45:in
`initialize'
        from rexmltest.rb:7:in `new'
        from rexmltest.rb:7

I tried installing rexml 3.1.1 from the RAA but I get the same error.
Actual XML is as follows:
<dbrc>
   <database>
      <name>foo</name>
      <user>user1</user>
      <password>pwd1</password>
      <driver>Oracle</driver>
      <interval>60</interval>
      <timeout>40</timeout>
      <max_reconn>3</max_reconn>
   </database>
   <database>
      <name>foo</name>
      <user>user2</user>
      <password>pwd2</password>
      <driver>OCI8</driver>
      <interval>60</interval>
      <timeout>60</timeout>
      <max_reconn>4</max_reconn>
   </database>
   <database>
      <name>bar</name>
      <user>user1</user>
      <password>pwd3</password>
      <driver>Oracle</driver>
      <interval>30</interval>
      <timeout>30</timeout>
      <max_reconn>2</max_reconn>
   </database>
   <database>
      <name>baz</name>
      <user>user3</user.
      <password>pwd4</password>
   </database>
</dbrc>

Any ideas?

Regards,

Dan

Refresh your CVS checkout with `cvs update -d'. Rebuild and you'll be extra-fine.

Any ideas?

hope that helps.

After fixing the </user> typo the script runs without errors, even with your original line.
