Re: [basex-talk] Crash when starting basexgui

[Joe Wicentowski]

Thanks, Michael, Christian, and Johan, for your help and ideas!

I finally had the chance to dive in. I couldn't just install temurin (Java
21), since I already had used Homebrew to install temurin@8 (which I need
for eXist). Whenever I've previously needed to switch between two versions
of Java I would use homebrew to uninstall one and install the other. This
takes time, so it wasn't ideal. I would like to run eXist and BaseX
whenever I need them, without this hassle. So this gave me a chance to try
out jenv. I followed a few tutorials. The best one I found was
https://www.baeldung.com/jenv-multiple-jdk.

Hopefully the underlying bug causing the weird error on macOS will be
solved, but in the meantime, this will do the trick.

Below are some of the commands I used, in the hope that this might help
others who need to run multiple versions of Java.

Thanks again!
Joe


# install jenv - and follow the installer's hints to add lines to your
.zshrc or .profile
brew install jenv

# install the versions of java you need
brew install temurin temurin@8

# register these versions
jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-8.jdk/Contents/Home
jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-21.jdk/Contents/Home

# set the global java to 8 - a good default for me
jenv global 1.8

# set the current shell to 21 - so I can start basexgui in this terminal
without affecting other places
jenv shell 21.0

# check current shell version
jenv versions
  system
  1.8
  1.8.0.392
* 21.0 (set by JENV_VERSION environment variable)
  21.0.1
  temurin64-1.8.0.392
  temurin64-21.0.1

[basex-talk] Bug in fn:fold-right?

[Thompson, Timothy]

Greetings,

I noticed that there seems to be an issue with fn:fold-right in BaseX (10.8 
beta). When I pass it a sequence of elements, they do not get 
atomized/accumulated. Example:

let $data := 
  a
  b
  c

return
  {
fold-right(
  $data/*,
  "",
  concat(?, ".", ?)
)
  }

returns: 

The same query in Saxon-HE 11.4 returns: a.b.c.

Best regards,
Tim

[basex-talk] BaseX 10.7 and util:if

[Andy Bunce]

Hi,
The documentation for the utility module [1] says certain functions will be
removed in version 11 because they will be in XPath 4.0.
However, util:if has been removed from the documentation and I think there
is no equivalent function in this case.
util:if is an alternative  syntax for the BaseX Ternary operator  [2].

( I have used it because it was easier than trying to get my XQuery parser
EBNF to accept  $ok ?? 1 !! 0 etc)

Is util:if to be removed?

[basex-talk] The duration of a cached job

[Andy Bunce]

Hi,

Back in the winter of 2017, BaseX 8.6 , I reported an issue with job
duration [1]

A question about jobs:list-details[2]
I had expected the attribute duration: evaluation time (for running and
cached jobs) to be frozen once the job is cached.


Using BaseX 10.7 it seems this issue is back
```
 job:eval("42",(),map{"cache":true()})
job24

   job:list-details("job24")
42

   job:list-details("job24")
42
```
