Title: Fix improper closing of CDATA sections in Gemini change logs
Problem: In the process of parsing change logs from Gemini, CDATA sections are terminated with backticks instead of proper closing tags, leading to parsing failures. These incorrect terminations usually occur at the end of CDATA sections within <original>
and <modified>
tags.
Analysis: The parsing failure is due to a mismatch in the closing syntax for CDATA sections. Instead of the correct closing sequence ]]>
, the sections end with a backtick (). This can result in XML parsing errors, as XML parsers expect
]]>` to signify the end of CDATA sections. The fix involves detecting the presence of incorrect backticks and replacing them with the standard CDATA closing sequence.
Proposed Changes:
Function to Parse Changes:
parse_change_log
, to look for occurrences of backticks ending a CDATA section. This function should verify if a CDATA section is correctly closed.Detect and Modify Incorrect Terminators:
<original><![CDATA[...
and </original>
, and <modified><![CDATA[...
and </modified>
.]]>
.Reparsing of Fixed Sections:
Unit Test Suites:
These changes should be implemented in the part of the system managing XML parsing, focusing on the handling of CDATA sections wrapped within <original>
and <modified>
tags.
This problem is somewhat common:
This can be fixed up pretty reliably by detecting these mistakes with
</original>
and</modified>
and fixing them up to be valid; then reparsing.
