Publishing a DITAmap on a Sharepoint

[jerome_franconville]

Hello,
First off all I wish you a great new year 2023.
I'm trying to publish a ditamap on a Sharepoint site and I have the following error message:
"Transformation failed. C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 25\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT3.x\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp.responsive\build_dita.xml:413: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.util.ArrayList.iterator()" because "stopWords" is null"

When this error message appears and stops the process only the media files have been copied to the destination directory.

If I do the publication of a local directory it 's working
This publication on the Sharepoint worked very well last year but I don't know what append since.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Please give us more details about the steps you are preforming in order to publish the WebHelp Output directly to a Sharepoint site.

However, it is worth mentioning that Oxygen WebHelp Responsive has been thoroughly tested for the case where the output is generated on the local file system.
There is no guarantee that the output will be successfully generated on a remote location.
We recommend you to generate the WebHelp Responsive output on your local system and after that upload the content on the remote server as separate step.

Regards,
Alin

Hello,

My process is:

I mapp my Sharepoint site to a drive :

Oxygen_1.png (41.77 KiB) Viewed 543 times

I used this path to configure the WebHelp publishing screnario :

Oxygen_2.png (20.57 KiB) Viewed 543 times

I run the publication, it's working correctly until the publication is succesful (without any error message)

But when I look in the output directory, only the media files (.png or .mp4) have been replaced. The other files (.xml or .html) are still the old version :

Oxygen_3.png (68.09 KiB) Viewed 543 times

I checked with the IT Teams of my compagnies, it's not a problem of rights on the sharepoint because I'm the owner and I'm able to replace the files when I browse the directory.

I have this issue since middle of novembre 2022, before that this publication "direct on sharepoint" was working well.

Thanks for your support.
Have a nice day

Hi Jérôme,

Could you please let us know if you are using a custom / external DITA-OT, or are you using the DITA-OT that comes bundled in Oxygen?
In case you are using an external DITA-OT, you should instead try using the one that Oxygen comes bundled with. To check which DITA-OT you are using, you should go into Oxygen menu Options > Preferences > DITA. There you could select "Built-in Oxygen Publishing Engine (based on DITA-OT 3.x)"

Another thing you should do is make sure that the output folder that you have set for the output to be generated in.
For that, you could:
- either set the value for the "clean.output" parameter (available in the parameters list from the transformation scenario configuration dialog) to "yes" (you should be aware that this would delete any files present in the folder where you previously published the output)
- or (if for some reason you need to keep the previous output files) set a diferent, empty folder for the output - that could also be done from the scenario configuration dialog, in the "Output" tab.

As a last resort, you could even try to publish the output in a local folder instead of a remote folder, mapped to Sharepoint and see if that makes any difference.

Costin
