Can't find element when source document contain an xsd

[matthew-b-payne]

Take document:

this is name

gulp.task('xmlmod', function() {
gulp.src("./text.xml")
.pipe(xeditor([
{path: '//name', text: 'new names2'},
{path: '//version', attr: {'major': '2'}}
]))
.pipe(gulp.dest("./dest"));
});

Works !!!

Change document to:

this is name

The task then errors with:

Error in plugin 'gulp-xml-editor'

I had the same issue. After troubleshooting for a while, I found the following approach to work using a function as an argument and explicitly changing the root element.

var gulp = require('gulp'),
  fs = require('fs'),
  xeditor = require('gulp-xml-editor');

gulp.task('xeditor', function () {
  // using fs to prevent caching
  var pkg = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./package.json', 'utf8'));
  return gulp.src('./config.xml')
    .pipe(xeditor(function(xml, xmljs) {
      xml.root().attr({
        version: pkg.version
      });
      return xml.toString();
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

I can't understand this problem. I think @matthew-b-payne takes same document like following.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

this is name

What is problem? Please give me more detailed situation.

Hi.. i have problem usign config.xml in ionicframework project..

this is the original:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<widget id="app.testing" version="0.0.21" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
<name>myAppName</name>

using this the gulp script failed with this errors:
events.js:141
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: Can't find element at "//name"

without the attributes : xmlns e xmlns:cdv.... works Fine!
<widget id="app.testing" version="0.0.21">

Can you help me?
