Re: xpath on recent CVS (was: Re: vendor error 2070 with XUpdate)

It was broken. Should be fixed now.

I am having trouble running XUPDATE.

When i run this from the command line (redhat) it works:

xindice xpath -c /db/tpri/teacherData -q /data/teacher/student
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'311-11-1111\']

Odd. I'm having a problem with xpath. With the latest CVS build, I always
get "null" for any xpath query document returned. Given the following
document (I substitued "?"s for the Japanese characters so as not to break
anyone's mailer):

  bash-2.04$ xindice rd -c /db/proyakyu/players -n 5
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <player id="5">
  <name lang="en">
  <given>Kazuhiro</given>
  <surname>Kiyohara</surname>
  </name>
  <name lang="ja">
  <given>??</given>
  <surname>??</surname>
  </name>
  <name lang="ja_kana">
  <given>????</given>
  <surname>????</surname>
  </name>
  <born>
  <date-of-birth>1967-08-18</date-of-birth>
  <place-of-birth xref="/places/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&apos;5&apos;]" />
  </born>
  <education>
  <high-school koshien="true" xref="/schools/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&apos;0&apos;]" /
>
  </education>
  <entered draft-pick="1" year="1986" xref="/teams/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]&apos;SL&apos;
]"
/>
  </player>

The xpath query for /[EMAIL PROTECTED] (with and without quotes) returns:

bash-2.04$ xindice xpath -c /db/proyakyu/players -q "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
null
bash-2.04$ xindice xpath -c /db/proyakyu/players -q "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/name"
null
null
null
bash-2.04$ xindice xpath -c /db/proyakyu/players -q "/player"
null
null
... [about 1500 times]

As you can see, the unique document query returns a single null, there are
three "name"s (English, Kanji, and Kana), all being returned as null
documents, and the query for all "player"s returns a null for each document
(about 1,500 of them). So the xpath query is finding something, but it is
not being returned.

I know with all of the updating going on recently that things are likely to
break, but has anyone else had success with xpath command line queries with
the most recent CVS builds?

["[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is indexed to an int type.  This really sped up the 
searches.

I'd just like confirmation that xpath works from the command line on the most
recent CVS builds. Thank you.
