Description

I haven't found docs about removing groovy.util.Node but this seems kind of wrong. I can remove a node but the parent of this node is still the old parent.

def xml = '''
<foo>
    <bar id="1" />
    <bar id="2" />
    <bar id="3" />
</foo>'''
Node foo = new XmlParser().parseText(xml)

assert foo.bar.size() == 3

Node bar2 = foo.bar.find {it.@id == '2'}
bar2.parent().children().remove(bar2)

assert foo.bar.size() == 2
assert ! foo.bar.contains(bar2)

assert bar2.parent() == null // this fails
