Description

From Gunther Rademacher on saxon-help list:

This XQuery

try {parse-xml("")} catch * {}

is rejected with a message of

XPST0008: Variable $err:code has not been declared

The following however works as expected:

try {parse-xml("")} catch * {{$err:code}}

Tested on Saxon-HE 9.6.0.1, but also occurs with Saxon-EE 9.5.

Best regards,

Gunther

Actions #1

Updated by Michael Kay over 9 years ago

  • Subject changed from err: prefix undeclared within an AVT to err: variables undeclared within an AVT
  • Status changed from New to Resolved

Added test case try-catch-err-code-variable-13 to QT3 test suite.

The problem is that a new parser is instantiated to process expressions within "AVT"s (necessary because they can contain forwards references to namespace prefixes declared in later attributes), and the new parser doesn't know that it's processing something within a catch clause and that variables like $err:code are therefore in scope.

Patch produced and tested on the 9.7 branch, and retrofitted to 9.6 and 9.5.
