Question

I want to make a node that has both text content and an attribute with Nokogiri. E.g. I want to produce XML:

<root blah="value">text content</root>

I try to do this with:

Nokogiri::XML::Builder.new do 
  root(:blah=>"value") "text content"
end

But Ruby complains with:

create-config.rb:8: syntax error, unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting keyword_end
  root(:blah => "value") "text content"

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I found the solution. I had to use {} and text

Nokogiri::XML::Builder.new do
  root(:blah => "value") { 
    text("text content") 
}
end
