Files saved in KeeWeb cannot be opened in KeePass2

[ShaunMaher]

Hi.

When I open an existing file, add an entry and save the file, users of KeePass 2 are unable to open the file. They receive the following error:

This issue sounds very similar to #127 which is closed. Maybe the fix has not rolled out to the non-beta app yet. I'm using KeeWeb v1.1.2 (the electron client) on Ubuntu 14.04 (amd64).

Thanks again for your time.

Shaun.

#127 is about custom build errors, it's totally different.
I cannot reproduce this, please provide some info.

• does it happen on Demo or New database?
• if you are using a test db without your personal data, please attach it
• can you open this file in keeweb?
• please try to save in XML and see what's going on 933:19511 (most probably your DB contains some special character where we didn't expect it)

I figured it out.
This happens when any of field, or title, or something else contains ]]>. Looks like XML encoder doesn't handle it correctly.

Hi @antelle. Do you still need an example or do you have a good enough test case?

[antelle]

No, I don't need an example, the case is clear to me and repeatable. The fix will be made today or tomorrow.

Your responsiveness is truly amazing. Thanks so much!

jindw/xmldom#164
I'll fork it and add a workaround today. Also browsers will use native xml serializer implementations instead of this.

Fixed, uploaded the release, please update the app, now it should work as expected.
