WebHelp TOC generating but no html output

[kmank]

I have been able to generate webhelp with dita topics and ditamaps without issue until a couple days ago. As far as I can tell, there have been no changes to the environment. Now when I generate webhelp, the browser loads the frames and TOC without an issue, but there are no HTML files displayed.

The output states:
[indexertask] No HTML Files found in C:\Dev\maps\out\webhelp.

I can watch the temp folder populate with files and then they are removed. So somewhere in the process, these files are generated but deleted.

Any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?!?

I should also mention that I can successfully transform individual topics, but cannot transform ditamaps.

Hi,

First you should make sure that the DITA map and its content is valid by running the action Validate and Check for Completeness on the map before transforming it to Webhelp output. This action is available on the toolbar of the DITA Maps Manager view.

Do you use one of the built-in transformations (DITA Map Webhelp or DITA Map Webhelp - Feedback) or a customized version in which you set some parameters? If it is a customized version please post here the parameters that you set and their current values.

Please set both the clean.temp and clean.output transformation parameters to yes and repeat the transformation on the same DITA map. If the output files are still not created please post here the complete logging content of the DITA transformation by right clicking inside the view DITA OT displayed at the bottom of the Oxygen window and selecting the action Select All in the popup menu, then right click again and select Copy. The complete set of logging messages should give us some clues about what goes wrong in the transformation.

If you can send us through our online form a zip archive with a set of sample files (the DITA map and the topics included in the map) we can test the transformation also on our test computers.

Thanks for the direction.
I have tried all I could from your help so I totally started "from scratch" by creating a new ditamap with a single topic that has no links. It validates perfectly, of course.

Then I duplicated the "out of the box" Dita Map Webhelp transformation and set both the clean.temp and clean.output transformation parameters to yes.

I still have the same issue with transforming to webhelp.

Following is the complete log of the transformation. Thanks again for any help!!

Hi,

[gen-list] Processing C:\Dev\maps\TEST.ditamap
[gen-list] [DOTJ036W][WARN] The file "C:\Dev\concepts\dr_about-savvis.xml" referenced by "C:\Dev\maps\TEST.ditamap" is outside the scope of the input dita/map directory.

Each topic included in the map should be located in the same directory with the map or in subdirectories of that directory. In your case, dr_about-savvis.xml should be located in C:\Dev\maps\ or one of its subdirectories. If you must place a topic outside the map directory you can set the transformation parameter fix.external.refs.com.oxygenxml to true.

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman for not pointing out the fact that I, sir, am an idiot!
