XML attribute not copied.

[jrz]

When saxing using xml, the attributes of the current root element is not accessible, even though it prints using element.to_s:

parser.for_tag(:product).each do |offer|
puts offer.attributes('id').value
end

Doesn't work. but:

parser.for_tag(:product).each do |offer|
offer = Nokogiri::XML(offer.to_s).elements[0]
puts offer.attributes('id').value
end

does.

xml:

<products>
<product id="1"><name>test1</name><.product>
<product id="2"><name>test2</name><.product>
<product id="3"><name>test3</name><.product>
<products>

Very strange! I'll take a look at what is going on with this.

I took a look at this, and I think you're perhaps expecting to receive a Nokogiri::XML::Element but what actually comes back is a Nokogiri::XML::Document. You can access the attributes via:

parser.for_tag(:product).each do |offer|
  puts offer.elements.first.attributes['id'].value
end
