Error thrown while instantiating WsdlValidator via file path & Nokogiri version >= 1.17.0

We are using wsdl_validator plugin to validate XML against the WSDL schema. WSDL schema path is provided as a parameter. Code sample:

require 'wsdl_validator'

if @wsdl_schema_path && !error
  wsdl = WsdlValidator.new(@wsdl_schema_path)
  wsdl_errors = wsdl.errors_for(doc)
  if wsdl_errors.any?
    @logger.error("Error validating XML against WSDL schema", :errors => wsdl_errors, :xml => data)
    error = true
  end
end

The problem appears when a Nokogiri version >= 1.17.0 is set. Until now, Nokogiri 1.16.8 was used and worked as expected.

# Gem dependencies we used
s.add_runtime_dependency 'logstash-core-plugin-api', ">= 1.60", "<= 2.99"
s.add_runtime_dependency 'wsdl_validator', "~> 0.2.0"
s.add_runtime_dependency 'wasabi', "= 3.8.0"
s.add_runtime_dependency 'nokogiri', "= 1.16.8"
s.add_runtime_dependency 'insist', "= 1.0.0"

Once 'nokogiri', "= 1.17.0" is set, the following error is thrown:

1) LogStash::Codecs::Xml#decode using `wsdl_schema_path` option should return `message` field with valid XML content
 Failure/Error: Unable to infer file and line number from backtrace

Based on the release notes of Nokogiri 1.17.0, they made a lot of changes & improvements: https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/releases/tag/v1.17.0
