XPathBuilder xpath does not include attributes on caret move

[csalsa]

The attribute for a XML element is not included in the 'Expression' box of the 'XPath Builder' when the attributed is selected and the XPath Builder is configured for 'XPath update on caret move'. The problem occurs for XPath 1.0 and 2.0.

Elements are updated in the 'Expression' box correctly.

The xpath should have 'xsi:type' attributes for intermediate element nodes where 'xsi:type' has been used. Otherwise the xpath is not correct.

Hello,

We will consider adding an option in the configuration of the XPath toolbar for adding the xsi:type attribute to the expression that is placed in the XPath expression field when the toolbar is in the mode 'XPath update on caret move'.


Thank you for your suggestion,
Sorin

Hi Sorin

The attribute for a XML element is not included in the 'Expression' box of the 'XPath Builder' when the attributed is selected and the XPath Builder is configured for 'XPath update on caret move'. The problem occurs for XPath 1.0 and 2.0.

Are you planning to fix the XPath in the 'Expression' box?

Consider:

Code: Select all

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

<document>

	<chapter pageNumber="3" />

</document>

From the above code the 'Expression' box displays /document/chapter regardless if the element 'chapter' is selected or the attribute 'pageNumber' is selected. For the latter, the 'Expression' box should show /document/chapter/@pageNumber

Hi,

I added this to our bug tracking tool so it will probably be implemented in a future version.
I think there must have been a performance issue to also determine the attribute, otherwise it would have been implemented from the beginning.

Sorry for the mistake, my colleague Octavian was already logged in, and I didn't notice.
