I noticed that it is not possible to use
elem.find
orelem.findall
with an xpath that contains position indices if the method is called with thenamespaces
argument.This behavior has also been reported in Bug #1873886.
It appears that during the tokenization of the xpath, the numbers are treated as tags, i.e. they are concatenated with the default namespace (during function calls with namespaces). This results in a wrong path imo.
For example:
The target element is not found here because the path that is used is effectively:
./{http://example.com/foo}bar[{http://example.com/foo}1]
Changes:
tag
is a number to avoid concatenation with the namespace.
