Parsing elements AND attributes about crack HOT 3 CLOSED

Has there been a fix or update to this? before i dive into the world of monkey patching this, i want to see if there has been any update.

from crack.

I also run into this when empty valid xml elements are returned from a library. The point is that I cannot know whether what I get in the hash is the value itself or the attributes, and is so relevant in my case.

I think that there should be a way to be able to switch from the current implementation to another one, where both elements and attributes are included, making use of a configurable prefix in the keys of the attributes.

This way backward compatibility is mantained and everybody can make use of the new functionallity adapting the prefix to fits their domain problem.

I ran into this as well and started looking at the code/working on a fix. Your attributes ARE there, it's just poorly documented. The relevant code is here:

https://github.com/jnunemaker/crack/blob/master/lib/crack/xml.rb#L85-86

The REXMLUtilityNode has an @attributes accessor added to hold the attributes.
