Error location is not displayed

[aur]

hello,

Great surprise today with the release 4.1.

But I already can announce a little bug.

The location of an error is not displayed. It's a little bit annoying when I debug.

Also, I notice the fonctionnality Xwatch don't seem functional in the version 4.0 and now 4.1. I work on windows plateform and I have the J2re1.4.2_04.

regards,

Usually, the error location is shown. It will be helpfull if you can send a document sample at support@oxygenxml.com for a detailed look.

Xwatch evaluates XPath expressions during debugging. What XPath expressions did you try ?

[aur]

Well for the XWatch(XPath):

I transform a xml docbook with the docbook stylesheet. And when I debug step by step, I don't see anything in the Xwatch during all the transformation.


For the error location, I just do another test with the basic stylesheet:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">



<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:variable name="topic">Hello world

</xsl:template>



</xsl:stylesheet>

When the debugger parse this file, it find a error because it doesn't found the end-tag for the variable.
With the version 4.0, it shows the error location at line 6.3 but with the version 4.1, the error location is empty.

Other example:

Same case, if I use this stylesheet:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">



<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:variable name="topic">Hello world</xsl:variable>

<xsl:value-of select="$topice"/>

</xsl:template>



</xsl:stylesheet>

The error description is :

F The element type "xsl:variable" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</xsl:variable>".

but no error location.

I notice also a strange behavior. For the moment, all test I made was with the Saxon 5.5.3 parser. I made one test with the Xalan Java 2.5.1 and here he shows me the error location for the end-tag error (described in my previous post) but no error location for the $topice error (described in this post).

The Results Panel/ Location shows details only if both line and column information is provided by the parser. If only line info is known for that error, the Location field is empty.

This happens usually with Saxon parser, but you can still click on the error in order to get that line highlighted into editor.

I agree that a better choice will be to show something like "line:-1".

hello, thanks for the answer.

So, is it a change realised for the new release (4.1)? If yes, I find it less practical.

In the previous version, the debugger shows all my error locations. This locations had the form 21:1, 45:1, 68:1.

Henceforth, I will click on the error.

Any idea for the Xwatch problem?

[stefan]

I did a test with the following:
source: <oxygen_install_dir>\samples\docbook\sample.xml
style: <oxygen_install_dir>\docbook\xsl\html\docbook.xsl
where in my case <oxygen_install_dir> is C:\Program Files\Oxygen4.1

I set the following XWatch expression:
name() - name of the source node.

Usually during a Docbook debugging the source content is not changing at every step (it could take some number of steps to see the source context changed) but when this happen you can see the name() changing.

How did you test the XWatch functionality ?

[aur]

hello,

well, I'm stupid.

I didn't understand the Xwatch functionality.
Now, this functionnality works very well.

thanks,
