CSS selector with multiple :not fails

[jonasfa]

Trying to use the following CSS selector raises an Nokogiri::CSS::SyntaxError exception: *:not(.one):not(.two)

This page from w3.org uses the following similar selector as an example: *:not(.txt_escuro):not(.fotoMateria), so it should be valid.

There is any update on this issue?

We're discussing overhauling CSS selector parsing for the next major release. Nothing is likely to happen very soon, unfortunately. :(

Ran into this too, subscribing

[pfleidi]

I ran into this problem, too. Has there been any progress so far?

[flavorjones]

We're targeting overhauling CSS selector parsing for the next major release (i.e., Nokogiri 2.0). Nothing is likely to happen before summer.

👍 I've ran into this today. I ended up working around it using XPATH selectors instead of CSS.

I believe this has already been fixed by #887.

[hwo411]

Still not fixed. I used it in the following way:

page.css('.someclass tr:not(:nth-child(1)):not(:nth-child(2))')

also I tried

page.css('.someclass tr:not(:nth-child(1)):nth-child(2)')

which not works too
but

page.css('.someclass tr:nth-child(2):not(:nth-child(1))')

works

logs:

for page.css('.someclass tr:not(:nth-child(1)):not(:nth-child(2))')
