Ruby Unit Test : Is this a Valid (well-formed) XML Doc?

Question

I\'m creating an XML document: I want to unit test at least to make sure it\'s well-formed. So far, I have only been able to approximate this , by using the \'hasElements\'

rexml - build-in library. You can use a error handler to check your xml files

require 'rexml/document'
include REXML

errormsg = ''
doc = nil
begin
  doc = Document.new(File.new(filename))
rescue
  errormsg = $!
end

puts "Fail: #{errormsg}"   if('' != errormsg)
