According to bug 81467, the test driver is currently using string comparison to compare runtime output with output.xml. This is fragile and should instead use a proper XML diff to compare results. The XML project has code for doing XML diffs, and this should be used for this feature. Contact Chris Webster and Ayub Khan for information on doing XML diffs with XAM/XDM.
Bug 81465 was fixed and closed for beta, but the correct fix using XML diff needs to go into FCS. This bug is waived for beta.
I agree with this solution. But re: bug 81465 - is the current solution vulnerable to any known cases? That is to say, do you know how to break the 81465 comparator today? It would help for users and demo people to know what format edge cases to avoid. I will add same comment in 81465.
Fixed. Now using xdm diff and the issue bug 81465 mentioned is also resolved.
Verified in build 060925_1. Also, see comments for 81465
