Error when parsing: XmlParserException: ">" expected at 1:71

[rafaeljustinox]

Thanks for creating this package! I'm trying to parse the example xml that is provided in the example app but I'm facing this error:

XmlParserException: ">" expected at 1:71

Also I've tried using my own .musicxml file and faced the same error.

The error happens inside the XmlDocument.parse(input) so I think the problem can be related to the xml package

Any ideas on how to solve it?

Hi @rafaeljustinox, thanks for your issue. But I still parse your file success. The test still works well. Could you please show me your code when you read the file input? and what music_xml version are you using now?

Hi @rafaeljustinox, thanks for your issue. But I still parse your file success. The test still works well. Could you please show me your code when you read the file input? and what music_xml version are you using now?

I'm using the latest version. And the files that I used is the one from the example app and the other that I sent above. The code I'm using

final String musicXml = await DefaultAssetBundle.of(context).loadString(
    widget.musicXmlPath,
  );
final document = MusicXmlDocument.parse(musicXml);

I'm getting the file from assets. It's fine because I'm using the string to present the music sheet using a package.

Passing the string hardcoded works.

Seems that changing the way to load the XML string solved!

Instead of final musicXml = await DefaultAssetBundle.of(context).loadString(xmlPath)

Did final musicXml = await rootBundle.loadString(xmlPath);
