Hi There,

I've just upgraded to Oxygen XML 18 and gladly noticed that a

chunk to-content

attribute will finally not break my glossary links in a pdf generated with DITA OT 2.x.

It does, however cause a fatal error when trying to build webhelp.

I'm getting this message:

Code: Select all

/Users/miklosduma/oxygenAuthor/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT2.x/build.xml:41: The following error occurred while executing this line:

/Users/miklosduma/oxygenAuthor/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT2.x/plugins/com.oxygenxml.webhelp/build_dita.xml:434: Fatal error during transformation using /Users/miklosduma/oxygenAuthor/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT2.x/plugins/com.oxygenxml.webhelp/xsl/dita/tocDita.xsl: I/O error reported by XML parser processing file:/Users/miklosduma/DITA/temp/webhelp/oxygen_dita_temp/TopicRoot/Glossary/transaction_glossentry.dita: /Users/miklosduma/DITA/temp/webhelp/oxygen_dita_temp/TopicRoot/Glossary/transaction_glossentry.dita (No such file or directory); SystemID: file:/Users/miklosduma/oxygenAuthor/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT2.x/xsl/common/dita-utilities.xsl; Line#: 450; Column#: -1

I tried it with glossrefs as well, and it did work with DITA OT 1.8.5

At the moment my glossary looks like:

Code: Select all

  <topicref keys="connection_glossentry" href="TopicRoot/Glossary/connection_glossentry.dita"

  <topicref keys="vertex_glossentry" href="TopicRoot/Glossary/vertex_glossentry.dita" toc="yes"/>

 </topicref>

Could you please advise? Quite likely I'm missing something pretty basic but my glossary has been smirking at me for way too long.

Thanks in advance,
Miklos

Hi,

I've tried without success to reproduce your issue by modifying the 'Growing Flowers' sample DITA Map bundled together with oXygen.

Could you send us a sample DITA Map together with referenced topics in order to reproduce your issue?

Hi Radu,

I've figured out that my build only fails if I have term elements inside short descriptions.

So to reproduce the issue, you probably need:

a chunked glossary
a term in the short description that refers to a glossentry
to run a webhelp transform with Oxygen 18 (dita-ot-2.2.3)

I don't know if this is an expected outcome, perhaps using terms in a short description is not such a bright idea.

Kind regards,
Miklos

Hi Miklos,

Thank you for helping us to reproduce this problem.

Yes, it can be reproduced if a shortdescription contains a term with a keyref to a glossary entry.
I've registered this problem to the DITA-OT project that the Webhelp output relies on.
