Description

I have a function with a return type declaration as="element()" but a body, that, after a code change and the use of xsl:where-populated, might return the empty sequence.

In this case Saxon Java or Saxon-JS when running a compiled stylesheet from Saxon Java EE give the error "XTTE0780".

However, when I run the stylesheet directly through xslt3, i.e. use the XX compiler, the error is not noticed and the stylesheet incuding the function call returning an empty sequence is executed.

Example function:

    <xsl:function name="mf:wrap-if-populated" as="element()" visibility="public">
        <xsl:param name="items" as="item()*"/>
        <xsl:param name="wrapper-name" as="xs:QName"/>
        <xsl:where-populated>
            <xsl:element name="{$wrapper-name}" namespace="{namespace-uri-from-QName($wrapper-name)}">
                <xsl:apply-templates select="$items"/>
            </xsl:element>      
        </xsl:where-populated>
    </xsl:function>

Sample input:

<root>
    <list>

    </list>
    <list type="ordered"></list>
</root>

Output of xslt3 when running the SEF compiled by Saxon Java EE 10.5:

   <head>
      <title>Example</title>

      <ul>

      </ul>Transformation failure: Error XTTE0780 at sheet2.xsl#13

Error XTTE0780 at sheet2.xsl#13
    Required cardinality of result of call to function mf:wrap-if-populated#2 is exactly one; supplied value is empty

Output when running the XSLT file through xslt3:

   </head>
   <body>
