Hey @MortalCatalyst, I think you might be doing this a little wrong. Nori#parse expects a string as its input -- you should be able to see this in the examples the README includes.

Maybe it makes sense for Nori to raise a better error here, so it's more obvious why this is failing?

from nori.

OK so I just need to do it more like this
def get_file_as_string(filename)
data = ''
f = File.open(filename, "r")
f.each_line do |line|
data += line
end
return data
end

MAIN

xml_data = get_file_as_string 'Pizza.hbm.xml'

print out the string

puts xml_data

Which I got from here

http://alvinalexander.com/blog/post/ruby/ruby-method-read-in-entire-file-as-string

from nori.

Ah, even better you could probably use the builtin method File.read to read your file in one line.

require 'nori'

xml_data = File.read('Pizza.hbm.xml')
puts xml_data

hash = Nori.new.parse(xml_data)

puts hash.inspect

Hope this helps!
