I upgraded to Snow Leopard this morning and the 1.8.7 wsdlDriver suite  
doesn’t like a wsdl file that 1.8.6 processed fine.

I’m running this call:  
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(“[https://api.yieldmanager.com/api-1.30/](https://api.yieldmanager.com/api-1.30/)  
contact.php?wsdl”).create\_rpc\_driver

But when it tries to parse the 2nd line (\<wsdl:import  
namespace=“[http://api.yieldmanager.com/types](http://api.yieldmanager.com/types)” location=“xsd\_gen.php”/

> ) it throws the following error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `targetnamespace=’ for

The URL of the xsd\_gen file is  
[https://api.yieldmanager.com/api-1.30/xsd\_gen.php](https://api.yieldmanager.com/api-1.30/xsd_gen.php)

After much digging, I discovered that commenting-out this block from  
wsdl/import.rb (lines 43-45):

```
    if @content

```

@content.targetnamespace = @namespace  
end

…allows the file to parse normally and my request to complete.  
However, the files don’t appear to have changed between the 1.8.6  
release I was using and the 1.8.7 that comes with Snow Leopard, or if  
they have I can’t find the change.

Any clue as to what might have changed and how I can move this fix out  
of the library and into my client? If it’s non-standard XML, I’d like  
to point it out to their tech support team.

Thanks in advance,  
Bill
