4420 2007-03-29 06:05:21 +0000 Get XML::LibXML to output error countext beyond 80 characters, or output 2009-02-02 23:20:42 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Validator check HEAD All All RESOLVED DUPLICATE 6329 P2 enhancement 1.0 1 ot ot www-validator-cvs oldest_to_newest 14577 0 ot 2007-03-29 06:05:21 +0000 libxml2 (and thus XML::LibXML) has a hardcoded limit of 80 columns (old skool!) for its xml parsing errors, hence making it almost impossible to know the exact context of the error. e.g: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/WWDC2003/libxml2-3/libxml2/error.c /* search backwards for beginning-of-line maximum 80 characters */ I have a (sad) workaround in the validator for that issue, but ideally, libxml would fix it by either: * having an option to output the whole list * having an option (similar to $parser->line_numbers(1)) to output the column number too The latter would be best, but either would do. Recording this as a bug in the validator, so that we don't let the workaround sit forever. 14666 1 ot 2007-04-04 04:35:27 +0000 As correctly pointed out by DV in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424017 the libxml2 API does allow for context info to be properly reported with parsing errors. Will take that to the implementors of the perl binding. 23399 2 ot 2009-02-02 23:20:42 +0000 With the advent of structured errors, and provided the bug explained in Bug 6329 gets fixed in XML::LibXML 1.70, this bug becomes moot. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 6329 ***
