Hi,
I am trying to create units tests for my functions and have encountered
an error when I attempt to pass an element to the function.
I've omitted the namespace declarations from the example for brevity.
The function defintion is:
declare function mine:doSomething($item as element()) as element()
{
return $item/ns:someElement
};
This works fine when invoked with $item obtained from a string version
of a SOAP document passed in declared as follows:
declare variable $source external;
let $item :=
xdmp:unquote($source)/SOAP-ENV:Envelope/SOAP-ENV:Body/ns:item
let $result := mine:doSomething($item)
return $result
The problem is when I attempt to call the function from a unit test
where I construct a shorter document like
let $item := xdmp:unquote("<ns:item
xmlns:ns="http://urn:my:namespace";><ns:subItem>text</ns:subItem></ns:ite
m>") /ns:item
let $result := mine:doSomething($item)
return $result
I get the following error
[1.0-ml] XDMP-AS: (err:XPTY0004)
mine:doSomething(<ns:item><ns:subItem>text</ns:subItem></ns:item>) --
invalid coercion: () as element()
I've tried using an element constructor to create an element to pass to
the function but I still get the same invalid coercion: () as element()
error.
Any ideas how I can get the abbreviated form to work?
Thanks,
Bob
