Does the -b flag changed as well?

I've just built the version of basex and basex-api from master and it seems that -b does not work as before. In fact it does not seem to pass the variable.

java -cp target/basex-7.3-SNAPSHOT.jar org.basex.BaseX -b$v=example -q$v Stopped at line 1, column 1: [XPST0003] Empty query.

Hi Philippe,

good point. As this has been irritating for other users as well, we've finally changed the behavior just some days ago. Feel free to check out the latest snapshot.

Hello there,

I'm using the CLI to load a xml file from my file system:

java -cp basex.jar org.basex.BaseX -i myfile.xml myscript.xqy

The first time I run the command, everything is fine, my file is loaded and my xquery script is executed. But the second time I run it, whenever I change the content of myfile.xml, it is not taken in consideration. I realized that it stores my file in the database the first time and after that it loads it from the database.

I was confused because it worked the first time. Could it refresh the content of the database whenever a file exists? And fallback to open the file from database when the specified file does not exist?

Whatever, maybe just a clarification about the behavior in the doc could prevent bad usage.

Ok yes it isn't working because $v is evaluating by my shell (Mac OSX).

I did not chose the right example. I really see an error which I have in 7.3 which I don't have in 7.2.2. What is failing with 7.3 is when I specified an xquery file, not an inline query:

$BASEX73 $XQUERY_FILE -o $RESPONSE -b$url=$HOME_URL

But I just tried to put the $XQUERY_FILE at the end of the command, now it works.

$BASEX73 -o $RESPONSE -b$url=$HOME_URL $XQUERY_FILE

So I guess the changes between 7.2.2 and 7.3 is the importance where we specified the file in the command?

Works on my machine (Windows). Do you have Linux? In that case, $ will probably be evaluated by the shell (wondering, though, why it was working before).
