A.2. Changes from XMLUnit 1.1 to 1.2
-
If XMLUnit detects that it cannot match a certain node
(i.e. it encounters
a
CHILD_NODE_NOT_FOUND
kind of difference) the XPath for the "missing" node will
be null. It used to be some random XPath of a different node.
-
XMLUnit.setIgnoreDiffBetweenTextAndCDATA
now also
sets DocumentBuilderFactory.setCoalescing
.
This has been done so that whitespace differences can be
resolved according to the corresponding flags even in the
presence of CDATA
sections. Issue
1903923. -
Two protected methods
in
SimpleXPathEngine
(which you
shouldn't extend anyway) have added XpathException to
their throws list.
- The
SAXParserFactory
used
by Validator
can now be configured
completely. Issue
1903928. - A new
class
org.custommonkey.xmlunit.jaxp13.Validator
can be used to validate schema definitions and schema
instances using the javax.xml.validation
package of JAXP 1.3. Depending on your JAXP implementation
this may allow you to validate documents against schema
definitions written in RELAX NG or other schema languages in
addition to W3C XML Schema. See
Section 4.4, “JAXP 1.3 Validation” for details. DifferenceListener
can now
"upgrade" recoverable differences to non-recoverable by
returning RETURN_UPGRADE_DIFFERENCE_NODES_DIFFERENT
in the differenceFound
method. Issue
1854284.- A new callback
interface
MatchTracker
is now notified on
successful matches of Nodes. For more details see
Section 3.6, “MatchTracker
”. Issue
1860491. - It is now possible to have more control over
whether the parser expand entity references or not by
using
XMLUnit.setExpandEntityReferences
,
see Section 3.8.5, “Entity Reference Expansion”. Issue
1877458. - New examples have been added:
RecursiveElementNameAndTextQualifier
- a more flexible ElementQualifier
that fills the same need as
MultiLevelElementNameAndTextQualifier
See
Section 3.4.4, “org.custommonkey.xmlunit.examples.RecursiveElementNameAndTextQualifier
”
for more details.CaseInsensitiveDifferenceListener
a - DifferenceListener
that ignores
case when comparing texts.FloatingPointTolerantDifferenceListener
a - DifferenceListener
that tries
to parse texts as floating point numbers and compares
them using a configurable tolerance.
A.2.3. Important Bug Fixes
-
If XMLUnit couldn't match nodes (i.e. it encountered
a
CHILD_NODE_NOT_FOUND
kind of
difference), the XPath expressions of the node details
have been random. Issue 1860681.
