[Xmlunit-general] Handling of comments outside the root element

[Arjan K. <arj...@gm...>]

Hi,

The following test fails.

  @Test
    public void testCommentOutsideRoot() throws Exception {

        String myControlXML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"utf-8\"?><xs:schema id=\"kvk_rpt-kvk-g\" xmlns:xs=\"
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\"></xs:schema>";

        String myTestXML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>*<!--
Release .. -->*<xs:schema id=\"kvk_rpt-kvk-g\" xmlns:xs=\"
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\"></xs:schema>";

        assertXMLNotEqual("Comparing test xml to control xml",
myControlXML, myTestXML);
    }


However, the xml (which is valid) is clearly different. Apparently,
comments outside the root element are ignored. Is there a way to prevent
this? I am using java 1.7, xmlunit version 1.4.

Thanks & Regards,

Arjan Kok.
