allowEmpty fails

[taschana]

I've got a complex routine to build xml (even generating some namespace for myself), all is well, except for the allowEmpty part.
Generating the string like this:
xmlObject.end({ pretty: true, newLine: "\n", allowEmpty: true })
produces an output like that:
<sch:comsumptionTier xsi:nil="true"/>

I am not sure if an object is not considered "empty" anymore, when it contains an attribute, but this shouldn't prevent the algorithm from producing a closing tag.

Please help me find and (hot)fix this.
Thanks a lot for the otherwise great plugin and I am looking forward to new features!

PS: if you want more code to debug this, just say so.

Please see: https://github.com/oozcitak/xmlbuilder-js/wiki#converting-to-string. You need to set allowEmpty: false if you want closing tags always.

I don't understand. Taschana seemed to be asking for NON-self-closing tags. @oozcitak your answer seems to just tell her how to get self-closing tags.

I'm pointing this out because I, too, am setting allowEmpty: true and yet I, too, am getting <mytag/>.

Can you submit a test case please?

I cannot, because I'm an idiot and the problem was a case that wasn't going through xmlbuilder at all. Sorry!
