Empty sequence error from fo:table-column when editing FO with 22.0

[Simcha]

When I create FO with tables that start with fo:table-column in 22.0 and open it in Oxygen Developer, I get the message:
An empty sequence is not allowed as the first argument of ahf:parser-runner()

I don't get this message with the same FO in 21.1. If I click on the message, it opens up C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Developer 22\frameworks\focheck\schematron\focheck.sch

I am able to replicate this when I open C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Developer 22\samples\fo\Miscellaneous\table.fo

Commenting out the fo-table-column elements gets rid of the error (also makes my tables format incorrectly, but . . .).

Hi,

In Oxygen 22.0 we updated the XSL-FO validation engine and possibly this added the problem you report.
Can you post a small sample XSL-FO file exhibiting the problem? I cannot reproduce this on my side with the XSL-FO sample I created:

Code: Select all

.....
<fo:table>
                        <fo:table-column />
                        <fo:table-body></fo:table-body>
                    </fo:table>
                    ....
                    

Regards,
Radu

Hi Radu, it fails for me with both of these:

My test case:

Code: Select all

Hi,

Thanks for the samples, we will have a fix for this in the next Oxygen 22.0 minor bug fix release, in a couple of weeks.
We reported the fix on the "focheck" project and it was also fixed there:

https://github.com/AntennaHouse/focheck/issues/41

Regards,
Radu

Thanks so much, Radu. I have included the changes and I no longer get the error.

Hi,

As an update, the recently released Oxygen version 22.1 has an update fo check framework which no longer has the original problem.

Regards,
Radu
