Parse Single Line XML In Logstash

I am trying to output from Logstash to Elasticsearch the "result" (pass) in my xml file that consists of this single line:

 <test_results><test_result result="pass" title="Name_Of_Test"></test_result></test_results>

Here is my config file:

input{
file{
path => "C:\Test.xml"
start_position => "beginning"
}
}

filter {
xml {
source => "message"
store_xml => false
target => "xml_content"
xpath =>
[
"/test_results/test_result[@result]", "result"
]
}
}
output {
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

When Ioad logstash with the config file, I get the following:

C:\logstash-6.7.1\bin>logstash -f logstash2.conf
Sending Logstash logs to C:/logstash-6.7.1/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties

I am wondering if the issue could be that my input plugin is not generating events or something is wrong with my installation of the xml filter plugin.

Do not use backslash in the path option of a file input. Use forward slash.

Thank you, I changed it to a forward slash instead but still got the same output after running again.
