Xpath does not reference a node! about ansible-xml

[hudecof]

This one works, but there is no word about attribute keyword. Needed to read the source.

  xml:
    file: conf/server.xml"
    xpath: /Server/Service/Connector
    attribute: proxyNName
    ensure: present
    value: xxx.uuu.zzz

Interestingly, I reached the same bug trying to patch Jenkins xml configuration files (v0.3.1). I was expecting that specifying a xpath and ensure: present will create this path inside the xml document. Instead, I get the same error.

I don't need to do anything related to attribute, so I don't really see why to use them.

Please tell me that I don't have to call it for each parent directory in order to make it work. I have quite a deep path to configure a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i and only a/b already exists.

The problem does NOT exist with v.0.3.0
