DOTX031E error for file in same directory

[GHogarth]

Hi: I'm getting the following error on a transform.

Code: Select all

System ID: C:\DEV\GPSS\c_join_function.dita
Scenario: GPSS (PDF (CSS Formatter - HTML5))
Input file: C:\DEV\GPSS\GPSS.ditamap
Engine name: DITA-OT
Severity: error
Description: [DOTX031E]: The file c_find_function.dita is not available to resolve link information.
Start location: 6:79

Both files are in the same folder, c_find_function.dita is not write or read protected, and there are other links (one in the same "c_join_function" file) that do not throw this error. I read the other forum post on this, and tried changing the link to

Code: Select all

<xref href="c_find_function.dita#c_find_function" type="concept"/>

but this did not resolve the error.

Hi,

Hard to tell what's wrong without having a sample DITA project to reproduce the problem.
I would guess something like this could happen because the "c_find_function.dita" topic is not referenced directly in the DITA Map (it's just referenced in topics), so it will not appear in the final PDF, thus all links to it become broken.

Radu

Hi,

Not sure, if you open the "c_find_function.dita" in Oxygen does it report any kind of validation error?
If you open the main DITA Map in the Oxygen DITA Maps Manager view and use the "Validate and check for completeness" toolbar action does it report any problem?

Regards,
Radu

[GHogarth]

No error on page open/validation for either the host page or the target page..
The only errors on the Book ditamap validation are for having too long a shortdesc in several topics (none of them are the problem one or the one it it referencing) , and a couple of unreferenced keys.
I have tried removing and re-doing the link; no change.
Both topic appear correctly in the PDF file, and the link works as expected.

In the Formatting log, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

[topicpull] I/O error reported by XML parser processing file:/C:/Users/Grant.Hogarth/Downloads/oxygen-publishing-engine-3.x/plugins/org.dita.base/xsl/preprocess/c_find_function.dita: C:\Users\Grant.Hogarth\Downloads\oxygen-publishing-engine-3.x\plugins\org.dita.base\xsl\preprocess\c_find_function.dita (The system cannot find the file specified)

Hi Grant,

I remember I've seen a similar problem before, with the topic being searched in the wrong folder.
Do you refer to the "c_find_function.dita" topic inside a short description?
Then this could be related to:

https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/3078

The problem is that a topic's short description is also used when hovering over links which point to it and in this case the publishing engine attempts to convert it to plain text and it has trouble doing this if it has links inside.

From what version of Oxygen did you obtain the publishing engine? I tried to fix this I think in Oxygen 21.1 but my fix did not work in all cases.

Regards,
Radu

[GHogarth]

Yes, it is contained in the <shortdesc>, and removing it from that location removes the error.
Thank you Radu!
