Re: How to validate a "ref" using XML::LibXML and/or xmllint

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response.

I see. The part I missed was to pass the file to the --schema param:

$ xmllint --noout -schema /tmp/example.xml /tmp/example.xml
/tmp/example.xml:9: element element: Schemas parser error : Element '{
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}element', attribute 'ref': The QName value
'interface' does not resolve to a(n) element declaration.
WXS schema /tmp/example.xml failed to compile

This makes sense as this xml is actually a xsd file. In Perl it works too.
The step:

my $schema = eval { XML::LibXML::Schema->new(location => "example.xml" ) };

Catches the ref issue too. Before I was just doing:

xmllint --noout example.xml

And I think that is why it was not catching the "ref" issue as it is a XSD
constraint not an XML one.

Thanks!

Paulo
