#114 .toxml() fails when <any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> is used

[Sebastian Annies]

A schema defines an extension point with " <any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>".

I create a document containing such an extension with CreateFromDocument(xml). This document cannot be toxml()'ed. The toxml() call fails with

AttributeError: 'Document' object has no attribute 'removeChild'

In reality this is happening with the SAML2 Protocol schema but I have created a simplified example to easily reproduce the problem.

The example contains 5 files:

• a.py: generated by 'pyxbgen namespace_other_issue.xsd -m a'
• namespace_other_issue.xml: xml file using the wildcard
• namespace_other_issue.xsd: schema defining the wildcard
• namespace_other_issue_support.xsd: not really needed but makes xml schema valid
• test.py: crashes when executed

• status changed from new to closed
• resolution set to fixed

Fixed on next branch in commit 5bb94cd. This fix depends on the previous commit which ensures the namespaceURI attribute is correctly set in the DOM instance.

Thank you for the prompt fix!

You're welcome; hold on a bit, though, the patch was incomplete when attributes are cloned and I need to update the test before pushing the fix.

OK, that should work better. Please open a new ticket if you find something else wrong.
