spaces after = in attribute list fail with XML_ERROR_PARSING_ATTRIBUTE about tinyxml2

[leethomason]

Attributes were getting parsed with the incorrect parsing function. You caught a good bug; thanks. Just pushed a fix.

I just added a test case, exactly as you provided. The output:

[pass] Attribute with space [Test Attribute][Test Attribute]

Is correct. Can you send a test case, or submit a pull request with a test that shows the problem?

Let me start by offering my apologies for giving you a bad issue case/description. I went back ant tested just now after seeing your test case and apparently my debugging skills weren't quite as good as I thought previously.

I was getting a XML_ERROR_PARSING_ATTRIBUTE error when processing my document and while stepping through the parser saw that it was erroring out after processing the space and assumed it was the space in the attribute value (other parsers I had tried failed here as well). Apparently it was the wrong space. The space the parser isn't handling correctly is after the equal sign. My document is actually in the following format:

static const char* xml = "<element attribute1 = "Test Attribute"/>";

and it fails with XML_ERROR_PARSING_ATTRIBUTE.

After trying the various scenarios, the only space that causes a problem is the one immediately following the =. As a result:

static const char* xml = "<element attribute1= "TestAttribute"/>";

fails with the same error as above.

I updated my original post to reflect the initial post was incorrect for the use of others reading this thread.
