Description Fridolin Somers 2013-01-17 10:42:05 UTC
When exporting some biblio or authorities records with tools/export.pl (via web client or command-line) :
If choosing XML format, you get a concatenation of full XML records : 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<record>
...
</record>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<record>
...
</record>
...

This file should have a root node.

It should use MARC::File::XML:

Bug 9415: XML catalog export is missing root node

When exporting some biblio or authorities records with tools/export.pl (via web client or command-line) :
If choosing XML format, you get a concatenation of full XML records.

This patch uses MARC::File::XML to create a well formated file.
See http://search.cpan.org/~gmcharlt/MARC-XML-0.93/lib/MARC/File/XML.pm#close%28%29

Test plan:
- Go to Tools/Export data
- Enter numbers in from and to biblio number
  (make sure that at least two records will
   be exported).
- Select xml in file format
- Click "Export bibliographic records"
- Save file somewhere
- Look at downloaded file
=> File should look like :
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <collection
   ...

   <record>
   ...
   </record>

   <record>
   ...
   </record>

   </collection>
=> "collection" is the root node and XML declaration exists only once
- Do the same for authorities export and command-line use of tools/export.pl

Second test plan:

- From the command line, run tools/export.pl, e.g.,

  tools/export.pl  --format=xml --filename=bibs.xml

- Verify that the output is valid XML, e.g.,

  xmllint --noout bibs.xml # if the file is valid, no error messages will be displayed
