Python-zeep: attributeGroup references are not followed

Created on 8 Aug 2016 · 3Comments · Source: mvantellingen/python-zeep

When the XSD part of the library parses an attribute group with a ref attribute, the reference if not followed, and thus the attribute group is not taken into account in the resulting schemas and messages.

Group declaration:

<xsd:attributeGroup name="SomeAttributeGroup">
    <xsd:attribute ref="xsd1:a"/>
    <xsd:attribute ref="xsd1:b"/>
</xsd:attributeGroup>

Group reference example:

<xsd:complexType name="SomeComplexType">
    <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element ref="xsd1:Foo"/>
        <xsd:element ref="xsd1:Bar"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:attributeGroup ref="xsd1:SomeAttributeGroup"/>
</xsd:complexType>

What should happen:
The attribute group relation should be resolved, and the list of attributes of the group should be appended to the schema's attribute list.

What happens:
The relation is not followed. No attributes are added to the schema, and thus they are not parsed from the responses messages.
