Webhelp with chunking and branch filtering
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2018 5:10 pm
We've encountered an issue that confuses me.
This is the Webhelp bundled with oXygen 18. Using OT 2.5.4
We have a situation where we're building webhelp that contains branch filtering but the branches are inside chunks. At some point during the build, it appears as if the build looks for the ditaval files within the chunks. However, the output appears fine. When the section I'm investigating is built with a larger document, the webhelp build fails. It seems as if it's causing a null pointer exception. However, another section with branch filtering that's within a chunk doesn't appear to fail.
Other than rewriting the topic that we're filtering, it's unclear to me what to do to resolve the issue. Do we need a more recent version of the OT and Webhelp or does this problem also exist in later versions?
