Oxygen XML Forum

When editing a new XLIFF file, I get autosuggestions of attributes in the Xliff Core module, and autosuggestion of elements from both core and optional xliff modules, but I don't get auto suggestions for attributes that are in modules.
This happens either if I reference the namespace or not.

The xsd is hooked correctly because if I mistype the value of the attribute I get the correct validation error.

Happens on Oxygen v19

Step to reproduce:

1. Create a new XLIFF 2.0 file from template. You get this file

   Code: Select all

   <xliff version='2.0'
   
       xmlns='urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:2.0' srcLang="en" trgLang="fr">
   
       <file id="f1">
   
           <unit id="u1">
   
               <segment>
   
                   <source></source>
   
               </segment>
   
           </unit>
   
       </file>
   
   </xliff>

2. Start typing a < after the file element
3. You get a dropdown which contains all allowed elements, from the main ns and from all other namespaces
4. Now start typing something inside the unit element: here you only get attribute defined in the main NS, not from modules

You can notice the same behaviour in the side panels "attributes" and "elements": attributes just show the elements from the core, while elements all possible elements.

Same error happens even if I specify the Namespace for the module, for example: Even with this code, if I start typing "fs:" I get no autosuggestion.

Not sure where the issue is, whether is in Oxygen or in the XLIFF framework implementation.

Thank you

Hi Simone,

I confirm this is a bug in Oxygen, according to how the XLiff XML Schema is constructed Oxygen should propose in its content completion window all possible attributes from all other namespaces for the <unit> element.
If you add those attributes manually like for example the validation will not report any problem:
so it's just a problem of the entries we propose in the content completion window and the attributes view.

Yeah, indeed...
once added the attributes manually, the validation works fine.

Hopefully such bug will be fixed in the future

Hi Simone,

Sorry for the inconvenience.
We started working on the fix and it should be available in Oxygen 19.1 (Autumn this year).

Awesome... thx

Hi,

Just to update this thread, Oxygen 19.1 was released and it should contain a fix for the reported problem.
