Generated code does not output values

[muncha]

The code that is generated with the -W flag does not include the values in the output JSON or XML. I tried this with my XML initially, but then with the examples that you provide. Here is a run of "test1" (minus the -f flag):

The JSON output is similar in that the structure is all there, for the right number of elements, but the values themselves are missing.

I see that you are in the process of updating the documentation, and that the -f flag code is commented out in in chidley.go, and that there is a slice of xml files in the generated code, so I am assuming that the current version simply doesn't need that flag. It throws an error if I include it of course. Perhaps I'm just doing this wrong and all will become clear when you publish your most recent documentation.

Hello,

I will properly respond to your issue over the weekend. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks,
Glen

Hi - I believe this is the same issue that I am currently experiencing. I generated all the data structures with the -G and then I tried with the -W for a standalone, and I do not get node values when the code runs, just empty nodes.

Hi. I need both to generate values and to supply -f for witch file to convert. Is there any plans for this functionality?

[gnewton]

I am working on a branch to resolve these issues.
@lynchdavis Could you supply your XML so I can validate
@NadjaVidnes Let me look into this. So you want the generated code to have a '-f' so you can supply the file needed?

[lynchdavis]

Unfortunately I cannot share the XML due to my companies policy. Apologies, Lynch

I noticed that the generated code using -G outputs the structs really well, but the base types for the low level values are all:

string string   `xml:",chardata" json:",omitempty"` // note the lower case string as the field name

since the field name is lower case they aren't being exported for use in the Marshal/Unmarshalling. I was able to get my stuff working simply by replacing all of the string string values with Value string.
