Description

Issue reported by user here: https://saxonica.plan.io/boards/4/topics/9166

The default toString() of an XdmNode with SaxonJ and SaxonCS seems to use indentation while that doesn't happen for SaxonC.

See repo below:

from saxonc import *

with PySaxonProcessor(license=False) as proc:

    doc_builder = proc.new_document_builder()

    xml2 = '''<root><item>a</item><item>b</item><item>c</item></root>'''

    xdm_node2 = doc_builder.parse_xml(xml_text = xml2)

    print(xdm_node2)

It looks like the underlying problem is with SaxonJ 12.0.

In the past XdmNode had its own toString() method. It now inherits from XdmValue.toString(). This uses the Adaptive serialization method. It sets the serialization options indent=yes, but at AdaptiveEmitter.serializeNode() line 230 this is overridden with indent=no.

I changed that and it made no difference.

In the serialization properties as passed to QueryResult.serialize(), the "indent" property has the value "true", but the SerializerFactory is expecting "yes". On public APIs this would be caught by validation, but it's not being checked when we set the values internally.

Having fixed this, I'm seeing test failures because the serialized output of a node contains a trailing newline, which unit tests aren't expecting.

I have expanded the Javadoc for XdmValue.toString() to set expectations more clearly, and have added tests. Trailing newlines are now removed from the result.
