Problem running multiple transformations from project (MSXML)

[bdonoghoe]

In Oxygen 14.1 I am getting errors whenever I run a transformation scenario that uses a Microfot XSLT engine (MSXML 3/4, .NET 1.2) against one or more files selected in the Oxygen Project Window.

The same transformation scenario running against a single file when loaded into the editor (as opposed to selected from the project window) doesn't generate an error. Also, transformation scenarios that use the Saxon or Xalan XSLT processors do not have a problem when applied to files selected in the project window.

It seems as though there is a problem feeding the input file to the Microsoft XSLT processor.

Here is an example error message:

System ID: C:\Documents and Settings\donoghoeb\My Documents\samples\feeds\New\nitf-to-newsml.xsl
Scenario: NITF2NewsML MSXML 3
XML file: C:\Documents and Settings\donoghoeb\My Documents\samples\feeds\NITF\AAP-108948435-4354028.XML
XSL file: C:\Documents and Settings\donoghoeb\My Documents\samples\feeds\New\nitf-to-newsml.xsl
Engine name: MSXML3.0
Severity: fatal
Description: Null xml source reader

Hello,

Thank you for letting us know about this.

I've tested and reproduced this problem. This bug was introduced in v14.0 and is still present in v14.1.
I've submitted this to our issue tracking tool to be resolved in the next release of Oxygen.
Unfortunately we have not found a workaround for this problem for v14.0 and v14.1.

Regards,
Adrian

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that this problem has been resolved in the latest maintenance build of Oxygen 14.1, 2012111217 (released on November 14th):

Project/Batch Transformation: Batch transformations that used the MSXML or .NET transformer engines failed.

You can download it from our web site:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/download.html

The list of bug-fixes can be found here:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/build_history.html#2012111217

You can follow the release/build RSS feed here:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/rssBuildID.xml

To upgrade:
- For Windows and Linux you can install the new build in the same folder as the previous installation, it will automatically upgrade it.
Before you upgrade, if you have added files or made changes to any of the files from the Oxygen installation folder(especially the frameworks folder), you may want to create a backup of them because they will be overwritten during the upgrade procedure. Custom frameworks will be preserved but we recommend backing them up anyway, just to be safe.
- For Mac OS X you will have to either move the old folder from Applications to a different location and put the new version of Oxygen in its place, or install in a different folder. You can then copy any files you may have changed from the old folder (if any) to the new folder.

The Oxygen preferences will be preserved since they are located elsewhere (user home folder).

Let us know if you encounter further problems with this new build.

Regards,
Adrian
