Error when includes more than one XMLNS

[dandanknight]

Hi there, I'm looking to create a pretty complicated XML, that includes about 8 namespaces. When I create a template, if I reference more than one namespace, I get the following error.....

/Users/dan/WebstormProjects/adiBuilder/node_modules/vash/lib/parser.js:108
  var consumed = this[dispatch](this.node, curr, next, ahead, nnwon);
                               ^
TypeError: undefined is not a function
    at Parser.read (/Users/dan/WebstormProjects/adiBuilder/node_modules/vash/lib/parser.js:108:32)

    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/dan/WebstormProjects/adiBuilder/app.js:30:16)
    at Module._compile (module.js:460:26)

    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:501:10)
    at startup (node.js:129:16)
    at node.js:814:3

This is before I include any variables/model or anything, seems to just fails parsing.

So, this works....

var tpl = vash.compile('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ADI xmlns:core="http://www.cablelabs.com/namespaces/metadata/xsd/core/1" xmlns:ext="URN:NNDS:CMS:ADI3:01" xmlns="http://www.cablelabs.com/namespaces/metadata/xsd/vod30/1"><ext:title><AnotherElement>Hello</AnotherElement></ext:title></ADI>');

var out = tpl({});

...and XML pretty printed...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ADI xmlns:core="http://www.cablelabs.com/namespaces/metadata/xsd/core/1" xmlns:ext="URN:NNDS:CMS:ADI3:01"
     xmlns="http://www.cablelabs.com/namespaces/metadata/xsd/vod30/1">
    <ext:title>
        <AnotherElement>Hello</AnotherElement>
    </ext:title>
</ADI>

And this does not work...

var tpl = vash.compile('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ADI xmlns:core="http://www.cablelabs.com/namespaces/metadata/xsd/core/1" xmlns:ext="URN:NNDS:CMS:ADI3:01" xmlns="http://www.cablelabs.com/namespaces/metadata/xsd/vod30/1"><ext:title><core:AnotherElement>Hello</core:AnotherElement></ext:title></ADI>');

var out = tpl({});

...and XML pretty printed...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ADI xmlns:core="http://www.cablelabs.com/namespaces/metadata/xsd/core/1" xmlns:ext="URN:NNDS:CMS:ADI3:01"
     xmlns="http://www.cablelabs.com/namespaces/metadata/xsd/vod30/1">
    <ext:title>
        <core:AnotherElement>Hello</core:AnotherElement>
    </ext:title>
</ADI>

Maybe Vash isn't the ideal tool for creating XMLs this way, any help is appreciated.

Hello!

Vash is definitely not well prepared for XML. It's parser is well tested against html at the moment, but xml is new territory.

But I just pushed a fix (v0.11.0) that will solve the problem you were having. It was related to the colons in the namespaces: vash wasn't treating them as part of the tag name.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you run into more issues!

Hi kirbysayshi, wow, amazing response! Thank you so much. I'll give the new version a go right now.
