Searching by XPath doesn't work #56

Closed reavertm closed 1 year ago

reavertm commented 5 years ago

The same query works well in 'xmlint -xpath' on the same XML file, while in QXmlEdit it always fails with:

"No variable with name root. exists : location: 1-33 http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors#XPST0008"

I think QXmlEdit should define/provide all the namespaces so that search by xpath "just works".

Hello, I need the data to verify the problem.

I just ran into this issue on this file: int_promet_bus_postaje(1).xml.txt

Using v1.9.17, any query starting with .// (for example .//public:int_promet_bus_postaje) fails with: image and image

The same query works using lxml (Python) and http://xpather.com/

The dot is not interpreted as expression, but as part of the name of an internal variable. Since the root of the XML is already pointing to the current context, at the moment you can leave out the '.' while I am working on this.
