Hi folks

just an FYI for the maintainers if they have time and inclination.

Its an easy workaround, but I thought I would bring it to the board's attention.

  XMLNode  >> canonicallyPrintToFileNamed: aFileName

"Prints to the file aFileName as canonical XML (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-c14n)"

and its cousins prettyPrintToFileNamed: and printToFileNamed:   throw a XMLFileException: (MessageNotUnderstood) ByteString>>asFileReference  .

The workaround is straightforward with

|ios| ios := ReadWSriteStream on:''. self canonicallyPrintOn: ios. StandardFileStream forceNewFileNamed: 'dude.xml' do:[:file | file nextPutAll: ios contents].

If you want to reach Monty, I suggest sending feedback directly.

The missing #asFileReference is probably a symptom of the missing Filesystem package[1]. I suppose Monty's version depends on that package, as it was integrated into Pharo.

Btw, I think you need to handle character encodings in your workaround. FileStream would do that (sort of) but StandardFileStream does not.
