[Mono-list] Mono 2.0 and XmlDocument.SelectSingleNode - XPath error

[Gert Driesen]

Hi Bálint,

 

As expected, it works just fine here (using SVN HEAD).

 

I suggest to create a small self-contained test-app that shows the problem, and then submit a bug report with the repro added as attachment (not inline).

 

Gert

Hi Gert,

 

the XML is nothing fancy:

 

<response> 

 <query>search</query>

 <totalresults>28705</totalresults> 

 <start>1</start>

 <end>10</end>

 <results>

            <result/> 

            <result/> 

 </results>

</response>

 

(result nodes have more data)

 

üdvözlettel
with regards

Hi,

 

this is the 3rd mono-related error I found in one ~500 line web project of mine, and it's still not working :)

 

I have a well-formatted xml file, and i'm loading it into an XmlDocument:

 

XmlDocument _x = new XmlDocument();

_x.LoadXml(xml);

 

on Ms.net 2.0/3.5, it's working like this:

 

string _total = _x.SelectSingleNode("/response/totalresults").InnerText;

 

on Mono, I needed to write a workaround:

 

XmlNode total = _x.SelectSingleNode("//totalresults");

string _total = total.InnerText;

 

 

on Mono, SelectSingleNode simply returns null if it gets a full xpath, but works if it's a global search pattern. Why?

 

thanks,

 

b.
