Solved QXmlStreamReader fails when child element is on next line?

[Diracsbracket]

Hi.
I am using QXmlStreamReader to read an XML file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rm>
    <nm>Name</nm>
    <if>Info</if>
    <ff>Format</ff>
    <ic>Icon</ic>
    <bt>
        <it><b>Button1</b><c>code</c><i>icon</i></it>
        <it>
	    <b>Button2</b>
	    <s>
                <si><d>Macro1</d><c>code1</c></si>
                <si><d>Macro2</d><c>code2</c></si>
            </s>
            <i>icon</i>
        </it>
 ...

The reader fails when it encounters the first <s> element, printing only:

D libTest: (null):0 ((null)): "s" "\n                "

errorString() prints the following:

D libWifi2IR: (null):0 ((null)): "Expected character data."

Once this error occurs, parsing is interrupted and I don't even get the rest of the file.
How can I avoid this behavior?

Hi @VRonin
I just realized that since I am not further querying for the children inside the <s> element at this stage (I do it later, in QML), I should either just skip reading the text for that element, or use

readElementText(QXmlStreamReader::IncludeChildElements)

instead of just using:

readElementText()

Somehow, just posting the "problem" helps to clarify things...
Sorry for the disturbance...

Can you post your code?

Just to be clear, since <s> has no text, the error is the correct behaviour for the parser

@VRonin said in QXmlStreamReader fails when child element is on next line?:

Yes, I naively thought that the child elements inside <s> would be considered as the 'value' for that <s> element. Another thing learned today...
As always, thanks for reacting!
