Bug #4958
saxon-js 2.1: Crash in Saxon.XPath.evaluate with certain predicates
0%
Description
I have isolated a crash condition that occurs using certain predicates. The problem can be seen in the code at https://github.com/Neuroboy23/saxon-test. This crash occurs in saxon-js 2.1. It does not occur in saxon-js 2.0.
Given this XML input:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<objects>
<object name="foo" />
<object-ref name="foo" />
</objects>
And this code:
import Saxon from "saxon-js";
Saxon.XPath.evaluate(
"//*[ends-with(local-name(), '-ref')]",
document
);
The Saxon.XPath.evaluate call above crashes with the following exception:
C:\dev\saxon-test\node_modules\saxon-js\SaxonJS2N.js:4065
y){return F.substring(0,y.length)===y}function q(F,y){return F.substring(F.length-y.length)===y}function z(F,y){return y&&(y=y.next())?y.toString():F.collation||Xd.getInheritedProperty(F,"defaultCollation")}function P(F,y){y=F?p(F,"http://www.w3.org/2013/collation/UCA")&&36<F.length?aa(F,F.substring(37),y):p(F,"http://saxon.sf.net/collation")&&29<F.length?aa(F,F.substring(30),y):y.fixed.qa.jd[F]:pa();if(!y)throw new M("Unrecognized collation "+F,"FOCH0002");return y}function aa(F,y){if(""===y)y=pa();

For completeness' sake, here's the same code block above with the addition of the code to load the xml file the file test.xml. The crash with this code is the same as above.
import Saxon from "saxon-js";
const document = await Saxon.getResource({
file: "test.xml",
type: "xml"
});
Saxon.XPath.evaluate(
"//*[ends-with(local-name(), '-ref')]",
document
);

Using a top--level "await" like this is a very new feature in Node, and not one that we've tested as far as I'm aware. Does it still fail if you use the more traditional structure
Saxon.getResource({
file: "test.xml",
type: "xml"
}).then(document =>
Saxon.XPath.evaluate(
"//*[ends-with(local-name(), '-ref')]",
document
);
?

Yes. The same error is thrown when using .then instead of await. I have updated the code on https://github.com/Neuroboy23/saxon-test accordingly.

To be clear: A concise demonstrable script is at https://github.com/Neuroboy23/saxon-test/blob/master/index.js

- Status changed from New to In Progress
This appears to be caused by an error in the way the context is initialized for evaluating XPath expressions. The context is missing the fixed options (hence the cannot read property ... of undefined error) and it needs to access the collation for the ends-with function. Now I just need to work out how and where that's supposed to happen.
