N3 method for path objects is bugged · Issue #2503 · RDFLib/rdflib (original) (raw)

The n3 method for path objects returns invalid/unexpected paths for non-trivial paths.

Example:

import rdflib
import rdflib.paths

path = rdflib.RDF.type / rdflib.paths.AlternativePath(rdflib.SKOS.note, rdflib.RDFS.comment)

Calling path.n3() here returns <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type>/<http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#note>|<http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment> (essentially rdf:type/skos:note|rdfs:comment).
However, it the method should rather return <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type>/(<http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#note>|<http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment>) (thus rdf:type/(skos:note|rdfs:comment)).

The n3 method ignores all groups as it never introduces any brackets.
