BaseX and oXygen
by Andreas Mixich 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hi, I remember, that I was able to run BaseX as execution engine for the oXygenXML XQuery editor. This seems to be impossible since a few oXygen versions. All that's left is the WebDAV part. I did not manage to run my old config, creating new ones did not help either. I remember having read a post by Michael Kay, who seemed to have some problems with XQJ not being up-to-date and some licensing issues making it impossible to fork/update or something like that. The bug-tracker and mailing-list links on the XQJ site are dead as well. -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich

Can't get `cdata-section-elements` to work at all for XSLT output
by Hugh Guiney 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hello, First off, loving BaseX so far! Using it as the backend for an API I’m building. However, I’m running into an issue. I’m trying to transform my database XML into an RSS 2.0 feed. It’s mostly working fine, but I can’t output CDATA content at all, which I need to do for `content:encoded` elements. Specs: - BaseX 9.0.2 (started via basexserver script) - Saxon-HE 9.8.0.12J from Saxonica - java version "1.8.0_112" - basex 0.9.0 (NodeJS) - macOS Sierra 10.12.6 ### First Attempt I set `cdata-section-elements` in the XSLT. rss.xq: ``` xquery version "3.0"; declare option output:omit-xml-declaration "no"; let $in := <root> <child>hello</child> </root> let $style := doc( 'rss.xslt' ) return xslt:transform( $in, $style ) ``` rss.xslt: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:transform version="3.0" xmlns="http://backend.userland.com/rss2" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" > <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="no" cdata-section-elements="content:encoded" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <rss version="2.0"> <content:encoded>hi</content:encoded> <content:encoded><xsl:text>howdy</xsl:text></content:encoded> <content:encoded><xsl:value-of select="//child" /></content:encoded> </rss> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> ``` Result: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss xmlns="http://backend.userland.com/rss2" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" version="2.0"> <content:encoded>hi</content:encoded> <content:encoded>howdy</content:encoded> <content:encoded>hello</content:encoded> </rss> ``` No CDATA sections. ### Second Attempt I set `cdata-section-elements` in the XQuery. rss.xq: ``` xquery version "3.0"; declare namespace content = "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"; declare option output:omit-xml-declaration "no"; declare option output:cdata-section-elements "content:encoded"; let $in := <root> <child>hello</child> </root> let $style := doc( 'rss.xslt' ) return xslt:transform( $in, $style ) ``` rss.xslt: [Unchanged] Result: [XPST0081] No namespace declared for 'content:encoded'. Clearly I declared the namespace two lines up. This looks like a bug to me, but any help appreciated if I’ve missed a step here. Thanks, Hugh

Mailing list configuration or my MUA?
by Andreas Mixich 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hi, may it be some configuration issue, I have on my side, or is the mailing list set up in a way, that each reply goes to the user's personal email-address, rather than to the list's posting address? Whenever I hit "Reply" the user's email address is put into the "To" field, whereas I would assume, the list's address to go there. I just, again, sent a reply, that should go to the list to Christian, in person (sorry about that). When I hit "Reply All" I get the list's address as a "CC". -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich

Re: [basex-talk] Failure with comment in editor when commenting out a regex
by Christian Grün 02 Aug '18

> > Aehm, no, that is still part of the regular expression. This does not apply anymore if you insert (: before the quotes. As Liam wrote, the regex won’t be parsed anymore in that case.

Failure with comment in editor when commenting out a regex
by Andreas Mixich 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi, it may be already known, that the editor seems to hick up with the parsing, when it comes around some strange combinations of chars within the comment. I just came around this: (: let $str := "http://foo.bar/barz/index.html?bla=2" let $str2 := "http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/#Related" let $str3 := "http://192.168.2.1/index.html?bla=2" let $scheme := substring-before($str, ':') let $host := analyze-string($str3,"^(([^:/?#]+):)(//([^/?#]*))([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))(#(.*))?") return $host :) Editor/GUI warns, that: "no expression allowed in library module" and places error marker at the two slashes // after the :)( in the regex. -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich

Editor: save file before running tests
by Andreas Mixich 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi, it seems, the editor runs unit tests from the file as it is on disk. Could the user be notified of unsaved changes before running tests? I just spent some quality time trying to understand, why my assertions failed when I realized, that... ;-) -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich

Wasn't there a function, that would walk a website?
by Andreas Mixich 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi, somehow it deems to me, that I once saw a function in BaseX extensive module library, that would recursively read a web-page from remote, following all the links in it. But now I can't find it. Am I dreaming? -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich

about xml:base when using multiple nested xi:include
by Marco Randazzo 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Dear all, My example (in attachment) employs xi:include elements to include other xml files. The example is constituted by a main.xml file which includes another file (include1.xml) stored in a subfolder, called include1. include1.xml, in turn, includes another xml file (include2.xml) stored in a subfolder of include1 which is called include2. Overall, the example consists of four folder levels and only the last file, include4.xml, contains data. When I import main.xml in baseX, I obtain the following result: <main xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> <level1 xml:base="./include1/include1.xml"> <level2 xml:base="./include1/include2/include2.xml"> <level3 xml:base="./include2/include3/include3.xml"> <level4 xml:base="./include3/include4/include4.xml"> <data>0</data> <data>1</data> </level4> </level3> </level2> </level1> </main> The xml tree is correct, but I have doubts about the value of the attribute xml:base. In particular: - level1: I think that the value of xml:base ( i.e. ./include1/include1.xml) is correct. - level2: xml:base value is correct if its meaning is a path relative to the root file. Otherwise, if xml:base is supposed to store a path relative to the current file, then it should be ./include2/include2.xml. - level3: This seems to be not correct, neither as an absolute path, nor as a relative path. I think it should be ./include1/include2/include3/include3.xml as a path relative to the root file or ./include3/include3.xml as a path relative to the current file. - level4: Same as level3. What do you think? Am I missing something? What are the specifications for the value of xml:base? Thank you, Marco Randazzo

Messy result with TagSoup
by Andreas Mixich 29 Jul '18

29 Jul '18

Hi, If I use `fetch:xml($url, map{'parser':'html'})` all is fine! The next one gives a correct result (although, in contrary to the browser, without namespaces and doctype): let $url := "https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-programmers-the-…" let $response := http:send-request(<http:request method='get'/>, $url) return $response[2] This creates a mess: let $url := "https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-programmers-the-…" let $response := http:send-request(<http:request method='get'/>, $url) return html:parse($response[2]) gives (partial): <html> <body>Category Theory for Programmers: The Preface | Bartosz Milewski's Programming Cafe/* */ if ( 'function' === typeof WPRemoteLogin ) { document.cookie = "wordpress_test_cookie=test; path=/"; if ( document.cookie.match( /(;|^)\s*wordpress_test_cookie\=/ ) ) { WPRemoteLogin(); } etc. I also tried: let $url := "https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-programmers-the-…" let $response := http:send-request(<http:request method='get'/>, $url) return html:parse($response[2], map{ 'html': false(), 'lexical': true(), 'nocdata': true(), 'nodefaults': true(), 'nons': false() }) This adds only the xhtml namespace, but the rest is the same. html:parser() -> "TagSoup" I don't know enough about Java, to test which TagSoup version is in use via the GUI. I am getting this result, when using the GUI on Windows 10 with BaseX 9.0.1 As I have seen, there was a thread on this list in 2016 about eventual replacement of TagSoup: https://www.mail-archive.com/basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de/msg08928.ht… What about https://about.validator.nu/htmlparser/ ? Thank you. -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich
