#99 default/fixed elements

[El_Boho]

Is there support in pyxbgen (1.1.2) for elements with default or fixed values? I've had no problem with attributes coming through with defaults but elements do not. When I change the sample schema to have element defaults I do not see them in the resulting pyxbgen wrapper.

<xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string" default="default street"/>
<xsd:element name="city"   type="xsd:NMTOKEN" fixed="fixed city"/>
<xsd:attribute name="country" type="xsd:NMTOKEN" fixed="Works for attr"/>

The answer, as you may have surmised, is no, there is no such support. It may be a little tricky to add, or it may be trivial, as it appears I defined a method on the element use class that was intended to support default values.

Subset of tests required to validate this:

• Pass all existing tests
• Add tests that default values appear in unmodified new elements
• Add tests that changing a value when there is a default is correct
• Define the behavior for plural elements
• Test the behavior for plural elements, including cases where only

certain ones are changed from the default

• Add test for fixed element of simple type
• Define and test behavior for attempts to set the value of an element

with a fixed type

• Determine when the default and fixed values are validated against the

content model and test this

• Repeat the above as necessary to ensure elements using xsi:type

validate correctly
