I have isolated the variable to the DTD setting: if I set DTD to true then I get the failure. If it is false, no failure. This is for XML with no associated DTD or grammar of any sort.
Having the CATPATH set or not set does not affect the failure. If I add "SET DTD false" to my command set then the replace succeeds. So this appears to be a bug in replacing (but not adding) DTD-less documents when DTD is set to "true". That is, this fails: basexclient -c 'CHECK dfst_dfst-sample-project_develop; SET DTD true; REPLACE dfst/metadata.xml <dfst_metadata><gitstate><branch>develop</branch><commit>2df2f9674f7e8a5d43 865411b193f76b19e9565d</commit></gitstate></dfst_metadata>' -U admin -P admin -p 1984 -n localhost And this succeeds: basexclient -c 'CHECK dfst_dfst-sample-project_develop; SET DTD false; REPLACE dfst/metadata.xml <dfst_metadata><gitstate><branch>develop</branch><commit>2df2f9674f7e8a5d43 865411b193f76b19e9565d</commit></gitstate></dfst_metadata>' -U admin -P admin -p 1984 -n localhost Cheers, E. ————— Eliot Kimber, Owner Contrext, LLC http://contrext.com On 4/12/15, 12:40 PM, "Eliot Kimber" <ekim...@contrext.com> wrote: >No obvious cause for the failure yet but it feels like a bug that is >revealed by a particular configuration organization. > >Cheers, > >E. >————— >Eliot Kimber, Owner >Contrext, LLC >http://contrext.com > > > > >On 4/12/15, 12:19 PM, "Eliot Kimber" <ekim...@contrext.com> wrote: > >>It's definitely a function of my local .basex settings.
