Thread: libxml2 2.9.3 breaks xml test output
Hello,
I just noticed that last night all built branches failed on my buildfarm
animal, jaguarundi. They all failed on the "xml" test, and the output is
essentially the same everywhere:
***************
*** 9,16 **** LINE 1: INSERT INTO xmltest VALUES (3, '<wrong'); ^ DETAIL:
line1: Couldn't find end of Start Tag wrong line 1
- <wrong
- ^ SELECT * FROM xmltest; id | data ----+--------------------
--- 9,14 ----
***************
*** 63,70 **** LINE 1: SELECT xmlconcat('bad', '<syntax'); ^ DETAIL: line 1:
Couldn'tfind end of Start Tag syntax line 1
- <syntax
- ^ SELECT xmlconcat('<foo/>', NULL, '<?xml version="1.1"
standalone="no"?><bar/>'); xmlconcat --------------
The last thing I did in regard to XML on this system was upgrade libxml2
from 2.9.2 to 2.9.3. I bisected it a a bit and the guilty commit to
libxml2 is ce0b0d0d8 "Do not print error context when there is none"
from about two weeks ago.
I have zero experience with libxml2, so no idea if the previous context
level can be turned on again. IMHO, the libxml2 change is a bug in
itself; PostgreSQL's error messages are more readable with the XML text
in them.

Sorry, I had checked the archives for earlier mentions of the issue, but had not found Pavel's post. -- Christian
