Description

when use the following as an config file:

import groovy.xml.StreamingMarkupBuilder

def xml = new StreamingMarkupBuilder().bind{
  records {
    car(name:'HSV Maloo', make:'Holden', year:2006) {
      country('Australia')
      record(type:'speed', 'Production Pickup Truck with speed of 271kph')
    }
  }
}
definedxml= "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>" + xml.toString()

and use ConfigSlurper to parse the file, I get the following value when asking for "definedxml" property:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><country>Australia</country><record type='speed'>Production Pickup Truck with speed of 271kph</record>

However I do expect to get:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><records><car name='HSV Maloo' make='Holden' year='2006'><country>Australia</country><record type='speed'>Production Pickup Truck with speed of 271kph</record></car></records>
