Ignoring the sequence of child nodes doesn't work

[amonich]

I am getting 4 differences in this piece of code. Although I hope to get that they are identical

var xml1 = "<A><B>1</B><C>2</C></A>";
var xml2 = "<A><C>2</C><B>1</B></A>";

var source1 = Input.FromString(xml1).Build();
var source2 = Input.FromString(xml2).Build();

var diff = DiffBuilder
	.Compare(source1)
	.WithTest(source2)
	.WithDifferenceEvaluator(DifferenceEvaluators.Chain(
		DifferenceEvaluators.Default,
		DifferenceEvaluators.DowngradeDifferencesToSimilar(ComparisonType.CHILD_NODELIST_SEQUENCE)))
	.CheckForSimilar()
	.Build();

you are telling XMLUnit to downgrade the sequence differences to similar, you want DowngradeDifferencesToEqual.

I tried to replace DowngradeDifferencesToSimilar with DowngradeDifferencesToEqual, but got the same result.
I also tried replacing CheckForSimilar with CheckForIdentical, but I still get differences in these cases.

The thing you are missing is an ElementSelector that ensures you match same-named elements to each other. See 0952ce9 for a passing testcase.
