Maybe we can turn it around: I’ll give you a step-by-step explanation of what I did, and I would be interested if it works for you:
1. choose a local directory 2. copy music.xml and label.xml into that directory 3. download and unzip BaseX.zip into that directory [1] 4. go to the command line and type in: basex\bin\basex -d -c "create db test music.xml" -q. This is what is returned on my command-line: Creating Database... . 129.25 ms (16 MB) Indexing Text... . 0.0 M operations, 4.89 ms (19 MB). Indexing Attribute Values... . 0.0 M operations, 2.53 ms (19 MB). <musique xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";> <titre>Smoke on the water</titre> <artiste>Deep Purple</artiste> <label xml:base="label.xml">Purple Records</label> </musique> Could you please pass on your output such that we can compare it? With -d, debugging is enabled (which might give us some hints on what goes wrong on your machine). With "-q.", the contents of the created database will be returned. If you use Linux or macOS, you’ll need to replace the backslash characters with slashes. Which operating system and which Java version and distribution do you use?
