Processing instructions disrupt formatting

[adamalston]

Hi, I've encountered an issue with the plugin where processing instructions within XML files disrupt formatting.

Input (test.xml)

<list><value id="all"><label>All</label></value><value id="one-one"><?group one?><label>One</label></value><value id="one-two"><?group one?><label>Two</label></value><value id="two-one"><?group two?><label>One</label></value><value id="two-two"><?group two?><label>Two</label></value></list>

Command:

npx prettier --plugin=@prettier/plugin-xml --tab-width 4 --xml-whitespace-sensitivity "ignore" --print-width 180 test.xml

Output:

<list>
    <value id="all">
        <label>All</label>
    </value>
    <value id="one-one">
        <?group one?><label>One</label></value><value id="one-two"><?group one?><label>Two</label></value><value id="two-one"><?group two?><label>One</label></value><value id="two-two"><?group two?>
        <label>Two</label>
    </value>
</list>

Expected output:

<list>
    <value id="all">
        <label>All</label>
    </value>
    <value id="one-one">
        <?group one?>
        <label>One</label>
    </value>
    <value id="one-two">
        <?group one?>
        <label>Two</label>
    </value>
    <value id="two-one">
        <?group two?>
        <label>One</label>
    </value>
    <value id="two-two">
        <?group two?>
        <label>Two</label>
    </value>
</list>

Any suggestions or fixes would be appreciated. Thanks

This is an issue with our parser. I've opened a PR for the fix, and will need to update the dependency when it's ready. SAP/xml-tools#452. If they don't it soon, I'll figure out another way to make it work.

Hi @kddnewton, do you have any updates or insights regarding SAP/xml-tools#452?

[kddnewton]

No, I don't really have any sway on them unfortunately. If they don't merge there's not much I can do. I might have to fork if they don't do anything about it.
