#81 Inherited property is empty in 0.9.18+

[Andres Colubri]

Hi there,

Up to version 0.9.17, I could parse the following css and get a valid font-family for OptionsPanel.PlotOptions.h1:

@font-face {
  font-family: serifBold;
  src: url('fonts/Merriweather-Bold.ttf');
}
...
#OptionsPanel #PlotOptions h1,
#OptionsPanel #SessionOptions h1,
#OptionsPanel #StatsOptions h1 {
  font-size: 16px;
  font-family: serifBold;
}

But from 0.9.18 onwards, I would get an empty string for that property. Could this be a bug?

Can you please provide java sample code. I'm not sure i got your point.

And yes, it could be a bug ;-)

I found the source of the problem: versions prior to 0.9.18 return rules in the following format:

*#OptionsPanel *#PlotOptions h1, *#OptionsPanel *#SessionOptions h1, *#OptionsPanel *#StatsOptions h1 { font-size: 16px; font-family: serifBold }

(notice the asterisk before the numerals), whereas the same rule in 0.9.18 would look like

#OptionsPanel #PlotOptions h1, #OptionsPanel #SessionOptions h1, #OptionsPanel #StatsOptions h1 { font-size: 16px; font-family: serifBold }

This difference was breaking my (admittedly poor) rule parsing code, but after fixing, I can now read the output from the latest cssparser (0.9.23) without issues.

Thank you!

That was documented in the release notes...
Thanks for for the feedback. Enjoy using CSSParser
