serdeIssues related to mapping from Rust types to XMLIssues related to mapping from Rust types to XML
Description
Hi! I'm using quick_xml to deserialize to some serde structs. While I'm still developing the structs against the XML, it happens that I have mismatches between my structs and the XML. If that happens instead of getting an error like "Expected type X at location Y", I get a pretty cryptic error, specifically:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: UnexpectedStart([116, 101, 120, 116])
Which doesn't give me much information to start debugging, about where the issue is, or even what it is.
A real-life-inspired reproduction that creates this error is as follows:
let xml = r#"
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<outerTag>
<generalComment>
<text xml:lang="en" index="0">some text</text>
</generalComment>
</outerTag>
"#;
#[derive(Deserialize)]
pub struct XmlRoot {
// Oops you thought this was a string but it's not
generalComment: String,
}
// Error: Unexpected start
let result = quick_xml::de::from_str::<XmlRoot>(xml).unwrap();
