Document cannot be decoded

I am trying to move more projects from generateDS towards xsdata. For the SMIL standard I am using a DTD that is converted via trang to an XSD. I have attempted to use the optimize-datatypes branch and master branch. Both of them generate code, but neither of them allow me to parse a document. The structure remains "empty".

from xsdata.formats.dataclass.parsers.config import ParserConfig
config = ParserConfig(
     process_xinclude=False,
     fail_on_unknown_properties=False,
)

from xsdata.formats.dataclass.context import XmlContext
from xsdata.formats.dataclass.parsers import XmlParser

from smil import Smil

import sys

file = sys.argv[1]
parser = XmlParser(context=XmlContext(), config=config)
pd = parser.parse(file, Smil)
print(pd.head)

smil.py.txt
broadcast.smil.txt

Can you share the xsd? If you switch on the config fail_on_unknown_properties you will see that the parser fails to match an element to the a model field.

1. The root element namespace in the xml doesn't match the generated model, it should be like this in order to work.

@dataclass
class Smil(SmilSmilContent):
    class Meta:
        name = "smil"
        namespace = "http://www.w3.org/ns/SMIL"

2. I need to put the name Meta in the reserved words

class SmilHeadContent:
    class Meta:
        name = "SMIL.head.content"

    meta: List[Meta] = field(  # There is an actual dataclass with name Meta 
        default_factory=list,
        metadata={
            "name": "meta",
            "type": "Element",
        }
    )

There is no namespace http://www.w3.org/ns/SMIL in those schemas, the models are generated correctly...

for the name conflict switch to branch issue-491

When searching for this, I noticed a namespace prefix in my generateDS session. That explains why it works. Maybe a command line argument to specify it makes sense.

generateDS allows to switch the default namespace of the schema under what context? The schema is supposed to be a binding contract, either the schema is wrong or the xml.

[skinkie]

As mentioned, I generated the XSD from a DTD. Likely that should have a namespace.

[skinkie]

GenerateDS has an option namespace prefix, this can be specified. I guess it overrides the default.

[tefra]

Yeah I suggest fixing the schema instead or the conversion from the DTD,

the fix for the name conflict is merged on master #492

Added targetNamespace, most of the problems have been resolved. The remaining ConverterWarning's are likely generated between chair and keyboard.
