Summary: The XML::Node::Set first() method behavior
Initial Comment:
With the 0.4 pre release, the following behavior is present:
If you find("//xpath_query") and the result is empty but still ask for the
first element, it will return to you an XML::Node::Set
The desired behavior should mimic the ruby array, which returns nil
See below.
irb(main):032:0> doc =
XML::Parser.string("<foo><bar><baz></baz></bar></foo>").parse
=> <?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo>
<bar>
<baz/>
</bar>
</foo>
irb(main):033:0> doc.find("//baz")
=> <baz/>
irb(main):034:0> doc.find("//woot")
=>
irb(main):035:0> doc.find("//baz").class.name
=> "XML::Node::Set"
irb(main):036:0> doc.find("//baz").first.class.name
=> "XML::Node"
irb(main):037:0> doc.find("//woot").class.name
=> "XML::Node::Set"
irb(main):038:0> doc.find("//woot").first.class.name
=> "XML::Node::Set"
irb(main):039:0>
The Ruby behavior...
irb(main):039:0> [].first
=> nil
