Can I write inside a xml node using Ruby/Builder? - ruby

Question

There's my code:
require 'builder'
def initXML(builder)
builder.instruct!
builder.results(:result => 'result'){}
end
def writeXML(builder,name,hello)
builder.test(:name => name){
builder.hello hello
}
end
builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target=> STDOUT, :indent=>4)
initXML(builder)
writeXML(builder,'name1','hello1')
writeXML(builder,'name2','hello2')
Executing that I get this XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<results result="result">
</results>
<test name="name1">
<hello>hello1</hello>
</test>
<test name="name2">
<hello>hello2</hello>
</test>
But I want the </results> end tag at the end of file. There's a way to write inside the <results> node? Or move the </results> to the end of file? Is better to use Nokogiri? Or is better to generate my XML manually? I'm trying to use that with Watir unit testing, there's something can I use to do that to write my results on a XML file?
(Update)That's the XML I want:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<results result="result">
<test name="name1">
<hello>hello1</hello>
</test>
<test name="name2">
<hello>hello2</hello>
</test>
</results>
Thanks.

It's writing precisely what you're telling it to.
Pass a block into initXML (which would be init_xml in idiomatic Ruby, IMO) and execute it. But I wouldn't call it init_xml, because what you're actually doing is wrapping XML content.
I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish; this is easily done using normal builder semantics. If you want to return XML nodes from a method consider passing the current node to a method, perhaps. Without knowing precisely what you're trying to do, it's difficult to advise.
