Groovy xml selecting child node attribute based on parent mode attribute - groovy

Question

I have an xml structure like this
<JJJ version="2.0" >
<Data >
<Object class="classX">
<k name="constname1">variable1</p>
<k name="constname2">variable2</p>
<k name="constname3">variable3</p>
</Object>
<Object class="classY">
<k name="constname1">variable11</p>
<k name="constname2">variable12</p>
<k name="constname3">variable13</p>
</Object>
I need to select ClassX node and in that value of atttribute containing constname1 (ie variable1
def parser = new XmlSlurper()
def mymo=records.'Data'.'Object';
def mytest = mymo.findAll{it.#class.text()=="ClassX"};
mytest.each{
it.'p'.each{
println it.#name.text() +'-'+ it.text() }
}
This is working. But instead of then comapring text in the loop I need to do something like this
def testme= mytest.'k'.find{ it.#name.text()=="constname1"}
This I am not getting right
However the below is right
println mymo.'k'.find{it.#name.text()=="constname1"}
But I want to restrict selection to the node for classX

Answer 1

Correcting your xml so it's valid, gives:
def xml = '''<JJJ version="2.0" >
| <Data >
| <Object class="classX">
| <k name="constname1">variable1</k>
| <k name="constname2">variable2</k>
| <k name="constname3">variable3</k>
| </Object>
| <Object class="classY">
| <k name="constname1">variable14</k>
| <k name="constname2">variable15</k>
| <k name="constname3">variable16</k>
| </Object>
| <Object class="classX">
| <k name="constname1">variable7</k>
| <k name="constname2">variable8</k>
| <k name="constname3">variable9</k>
| </Object>
| </Data>
|</JJJ>'''.stripMargin()
List var = new XmlSlurper().parseText( xml ).'**'.grep {
it.#name == 'constname1' && it.parent().#class == 'classX'
}
assert var == [ 'variable1', 'variable7' ]
is that what you wanted?

Answer 2

I guess the correct way was
mytest.'k'.find{ it.['#name']=="constname1"}
